THE METHOD
The image was stamped in the middle of the cardstock using Wendy Vecchi Black Archival Ink. Using copic markers , I began colouring the buildings first in different colours to give them some interest. Just a slight hint of green was added to the trees and blue to the snowy areas.
Once this was done, I taped around the edges of the cardstock and added the wavy mask which was previously die cut. Beginning with SSS Cotton Candy, I coloured the area around the image. After doing this, I added SSS Surf Blue, Audrey Blue and Island Blue. Now it looks abit green because there was some yellow distress ink on my work surface which I unfortunately did not notice but I still love the look.
After removing the tape, I trimmed the background and adhered it to red and white cardstock, because what is a christmas card without the colours red and white.....
For added interest I stamped a botanical plant 3 times to give the card the illusion of a foreground and background. The sentiment is from Penny Black Collection "Joy and Happiness" and a peppermint red twine adds further sweetness as an embellishment.
Hope you like today's card and I look forward to seeing you back here again.
