Merry Christmas Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)


Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Merry Christmas Card:o)


To make this card I used stamps from three ADORABLE Jane's Doodles stamp sets'St. Nick''Driving Home For Christmas' and 'Warm and Cozy'.


How I made this card...

I stamped a reindeer on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique using Distress Ink Ground Espresso. After drying I fussy cut the reindeer, traced edges with black marker and stamped another reindeer on a white cardstock paper, colored him in black and fussy cut, leaving thin white border around him. Then I glued together two reindeer. I did this because the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed a bit thicker image. As a finishing touch, I drew white and black details on reindeer's scarf using a white pigment ink and black fine liner. :o)

Then I worked on a background. I heat embossed in white stars on a Kraft paper panel and glued the panel on a white top folded card base. I cut two hills from the white cardstock paper, glued one directly on the panel, added some foam on the other hill and glued it on the card. Then I drew white dots on the panel to create more snowy effect. I must admit this is my favorite snowy background on Kraft. :o)

I LOVE dimension on my cards. :o) When creating scenes like on this card, I like to use various dimensions of 3D foam. It gives even more interest. :o)

I heat embossed in white a sentiment on the Kraft paper and cut a stripe shape I liked. I glued 3D foam squares on the back of the reindeer and the sentiment, placed them on the card and my card was finished. :o)

1) As You Like It ChallengeDo you prefer Rubber or Digis?
This is my 2nd entry to this challenge.
I use and like them both, rubber and digis, as they both have their own benefits, but like rubber (and clear acetate) stamps just a bit more. This is for a reason I really enjoy having a stamp in my hands and actually stamp. Also, I spend less time creating a layout for my card with physical stamps than with digis, I can stamp wherever I want and can use stamps for more crafting techniques, for example heat embossing. :o)
