Hi Everyone!!

I have to admit I'm actually excited about making christmas cards this year, I normally leave it right until the last minute. So Christmas card making is definatly in full swing.

I thought I'd start with a really simple card using lavina stamps, and for this one I only used three sets of stamps. Sometimes its so easy to get carried away using lots of stamps to build a scene but you dont always need to.

I started by stamping the gorgeous Walter in red and black ink by carefully applying red ink to the jacket, wiping any excess ink off, then used a sponge dabber to apply the black ink the rest of the image. I will do a little video on how this was done very soon. Apply masking fluid to the image. Then colour the background with inks to create a snowy scene. I added some pink and bright blue to the sky to create an aurora borealis look. 

Remove the masking fluid.

Stamp the foliage in black ink. Colour the foliage and walter with distress pencils. 

Water down a small amount of white gesso and use a fan brush to splatter snow over the entire card.

Add some glossy accents and finish by mounting onto black card and onto a card blank. 

All products used on this card can be purchased from thats crafty.

Thanks for visiting
