Playing in the Snow!

Hello Crafty Peeps!

It’s Maureen back with another sneak peek at the adorable “Seasons Tweetings” stamp set. I want to thank Gerda, Mace and everyone at Gerda Steiner , LLC for having me as a guest designer, it has been such a dream come true and a heck of a lot of fun as well.

Onto the card. . .

These adorable birdies are so fun to create with. For this card I wanted the “whole gang” together.

I started by drawing lightly with my pencil a snowdrift and then I stamped each of my cute birdie friends out on some masking paper. Then I stamped each bird on the card where I wanted them and put the mask over them. I also masked the bottom of the card. I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean to ink blend in the horizon/ice line. Then I removed the masks and got coloring!

After I finished my coloring, I cut my panel using a scalloped die frame and matted it on a Michael’s red shimmer card stock panel. I decided I wanted to play with more elements from the kit, so I drew a “wire” line from the “Seasons Tweetings” sentiment and stamped the ornament and star included in the set hanging down from the wire. After those were colored, I added in some sequins for a “snow effect” and finally I used my white gel pen to clean up a few places, add highlights and some texture to the Santa hats on the birds. Finally, I added glossy accents to the birds eyeglasses (I mean how adorable is he!) and to the Christmas ornaments and stars, just to make them pop a little more.

Here’s another look at the finished card:

Maureen, this card is adorable!! You’ve added so many little details from the critter’s shadows in the snow to the glossy accents. Have loved your cards and posts as a guest designer. Hope they’ll add you to the team full time. You’d be a great asset to them and an inspiration for us!!
