No Day Like a Snow Day
Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here and today I 'm sharing a sweet snow day card. A fun no layer card using stencils from my stash and cuties from a sweet Mini-Remix stamp set.
I'm continuing to use some of my TGF stash that has yet to see ink and these two cuties from the Mini-Remix Winter stamp set caught my eye. So I thought I'd make a fun wintry card for them. Unfortunately, these cuties aren't currently on the website. But if you'd like to add this sweet stamp set to your collection, you can check out the Farmers Market and submit a request via email... maybe it'll be available for the next Farmers Market. Fingers crossed!
First I created a fun background using a tree stencil and a fun heart shaped snowy stencil for the sky that were both placed over a fun watercolor wash stencil. I just used residual ink on my brushes for the blue of the sky and green for the trees. I went around the edge of the watercolor wash stencil with a tiny bit of Hickory Smoke distress ink. Once the background was dry, I spattered some white acrylic paint for my snow.
I inked up this sweet couple with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut them on the line and then I used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. This makes the fussy cutting look nice and neat. I adhered both of them directly to the card and then I added a bit of a shadow underneath them with the C2 Copic marker.
Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, R00, R20
Anya's Hair: E70, E71, E77
Anya's Hair Barrette: RV10, RV02, RV14
Anya's Scarf / Boots: BV00, BV02, BV17
Anya's Sweater: RV10, RV02, RV14
Anya's Skirt: N2, N4, BV00, BV17
Ian's Hair: Y21, E43, E44
Ian's Coat: BG10, BG34, C0, C2
Ian's Shirt: B000, B00
Ian's Jeans: B93, B95, B97
Ian's Shoes: N2, N4
I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Day stamp set. I thought it worked well for my snowy scene. I trimmed it and adhered it directly to the card. I sure hope I've inspired you to get inky! Have a wonderful day!
Inky Hugs,
Crystal
