Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Stamped Layer: 5.25 x 4
Card Face: 5.25 x 4
Card Face:
- I brushed blue ink onto the top two-thirds of the the card face, allowing variations in depth to create the look of clouds.
- I placed the card face onto the grip mat, and positioned the stencil about ¾ of the way down the card face. I used green ink to create the tree line.
- I shifted the stencil up and over (to allow the trees to fall in between those in the first row) and created a second row, overlapping where necessary.
- I put the card face into the stamp positioner and added the sentiment in the upper left, using Versafine Onyx.
Other:
- I stamped Santa on the second piece of cardstock, placing him towards the bottom right.
- I coloured this with alcohol markers, adding a shadow under him and the ski track behind him in the snow as well.
- I drew a curved hillside behind Santa, and then cut along that line and also carefully cut around the upper half of Santa.
Assembly
- I glued the card face to the card base, and the layer with the cut out Santa on top of these.
Final Thoughts:
This is such a cute combination – the style of the tree stencil works with Santa so very well. I really like this one.
