Figure Skater in the Snow!

April 16, 2024

Hello Everyone.

Mimi Alegria here as a Guest Designer for Gerda Steiner Designs.

I used the Birthday Birds to create this Let It Snow card. The birds holding the signs really spoke to me as ifthey were judging some sort of sporting activity. That’s where the inspiration came for this fun winter card.

Printed out the digital stamp onto cardstock. Sorted through my stamps to find a stamp worthy of turning upside so you could only see the bottom part of the character since they were going to fall in the snow. Added ink only to the bottom half of the stamp then positioned it upside down. Colored the tree, birds, and the skater. Used a black paint pen to add numbers to the signs.

Use a popsicle stick to add Aleene’s Glitter Snow as the textured snow on the ground and on the tree.

Stamped the “Let it Snow” sentiment onto the card.
Glued the Birds to a blue card base.
