Hello – a craftathon this weekend, and I created this card using supplies from several companies:

I took the photo Inspiration from one of the challenges, found this stamp and die set from Honey Bee as I knew that Snowman would feature strongly on the card – then looked through my stash for images of houses – small houses and scenes, which I could place behind the snowmen.

I found several and decided not to die cut them – just stamp directly onto the panel, in a muted brown – in-keeping with colour palette on the inspiration photo.

The snowmen and other elements in the stamp set were stamped in Gina K Amalgam ink, then coloured with Copics. A fairly simple colouring, mostly two colours, but the shadow on the side of the snowman just the one colours – as was the ‘grounding’ when I had put the card together.

When die cut, I added some white gel pen, and placed everything as you see.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps – holiday

Aud Sentiments – atg with a sentiment
