2015 Holiday Card Series #10: Fleece Navidad

The plan was to have 12 cards in my 2015 Holiday Card Series (like the 12 Days of Christmas!) but unfortunately I fell short of my goal.  I did, however, save my favorite card for last…

I am submitting this card to the current Lawnscaping Challenge:

I stamped all of the images onto Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then colored them in with COPIC Sketch markers.  I tried my hand at the “dot technique” on the sheep to try to mimic the look of a real sheep’s coat.  I also used various gel pens to add detail to some of the presents and colored over the Christmas lights with a Clear Glitter Wink of Stella pen.

I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on two areas of the card — to create a soft blended sky for the main scene and also inked it over the Simon Says Stamp Diagonal Stripe stencil for the frame piece.

In honor of Diecember, I did a TON of die cutting on this card.  I used the inlaid die technique for the focal panel and stacked three frames together for added dimension.  I also used the Lawn Fawn Forest Border and Stitched Hillside Border dies and coated the tops of the die cut pieces with Star Dust Stickles.

I am also submitting this card to the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge (All About Die-Cutting) and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (Winter Wonderland).

Thanks for stopping by!!
