Happy Everything by Amanda Southern

Hi everyone
With Christmas only a matter of days away for most of us
there are those around us that don’t celebrate it at all and it’s also nice to
remember them at this time of the year. With that in mind I have made a Happy
Everything card instead of a Christmas card and kept with the traditional red
and green of Christmas.
Here’s What I Did:-
I have
kept this one clean and simple but there is a lot of masking off to layer up
the stamping. I first stamped the central flower in black archival ink and once
the ink was dry I masked off the image with masking fluid. I then stamped the
other 3 Azoline designed stamps onto post it notes and cut them out these cut
outs I will be using to allow me to build up the stamping behind the central
flower. Once I had stamped and masked them I rubbed off the masking fluid.
The
colouring of my image was done using alcohol markers and shading added with
coloured pencils.
I
splashed slightly diluted white Dylusions paint over the lot and then stamped
my ‘Happy Everything’ sentiment.
Mounted
onto black card and then onto a card blank.
What I Used:-
Other 3
stamps are also Carabelle designed by Azoline
Alcohol Markers like Promarkers, Spectrum Noir etc
Card Blank
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very
Happy Christmas and to those who don’t celebrate Christmas I wish you a very
Happy Everything.
This is my last post for That’s Crafty! for this year, so
have a good one and I’ll see you all on the other side!
Love

An excellent plan to have a "happy everything" card, and this one's a cracker... love the stamp, love the colours, love the colouring, love the white space, love the white spatter - love it!

A stunner Amanda and your masking has produced such a beautiful look to the design.
