Let it Snow - Loves Rubber Stamps GDT


Good Morning Blogging Friends,

Today I am back with another challenge as a Guest Design Team Member for Loves Rubberstamps Challenges.  The sponsor this week for Loves Rubberstamps is Kenny K.



Ok, let's get to the challenge, it is Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! - Create a Winter Scene with a Snow feature.   This one stumped me for a while.  I think I was just thinking way to hard.  Then I decided to use Kenny K's Ice Skate Kate.  I have never colored an image with this type of hair, so it was a new challenge for me.  I had to keep repeating mountains are light, valleys are dark. 

I can't tell you the name of the paper I choose.  I dug it out of that large stash file I have.  I really need to clean it out, but that is another story for another time.  I colored the image on cryogen with my copics.  To help create the winter scene, I  used glossy accents under Kate's feet to give the illusion of ice.  Then I used emboss resist for the snowflakes to add some extra scene.  I also embossed snowflakes on some of the background paper.  I used pumice stone distress ink to ink around the edge of the image to give it a night time feel.  I cut the entire image out with a spellbinders die.  To finish the card, I used some charms, ribbon and a tag with  "Let it Snow" embossed on the front.  The sentiment was put together with words by Sent my Cards.





Copics used:
Pants/Shirt/Hairband:  RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99, C0, C3
Skates:  E50, E53, E55, C0, C3, C5
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
Hair:  E31, E35, E57, E59




For the inside of the card, I used matching purple paper from the front, but I stamped snowflakes around the edges with victorian velvet distress ink.  The snowflakes are by Stampers Anonymous.  I also cut out some white card stock with the matching spellbinders die from the front and inked it with more snowflakes.  The inside sentiment is by Stampabilities.

Thank you for stopping by!
Blessings until next time....

  11. Oh this is absolutely beautiful and I love how you've coloured her up. Thanks for playing at Dutch Dare Card Challenge this week. Unfortunately you've linked to more than 8 challenges in total and will therefore not qualify for the draw. That is a shame with such an adorable card. However I still hope to see you back thursday for a new challenge. Bettina xx

  17. This is just GORGEOUS! Your coloring and the details are perfect! I commend you for using your scrap paper - LOL! I am horrible at using scraps, and I can never throw any paper away so my scrap piles (yes multiple) are awful! I have one big round plastic tub FULL, plus a huge growing pile on my desk! Plus they are so unorganized that I don't like venturing into them so they just continue to grow! I really need to start using them - LOL!
