Warm Christmoose hugs...

So what do you do when inspiration strikes, even though it's almost time for bed because you have a busy working day ahead? Most of the time I'm being a sensible girl who goes to bed, but today I could not resist creating another card for the MFT Superstar Contest, using the second of the two MFT stamp sets that I own (so far) AND using a technique that's been on my crafty to do list for a long time.

I arranged the stamps from the Merry Christmoose stamp set onto my MISTI and stamped them onto a panel of black cardstock using Versamark ink and then heat-embossed the stamped images in white ep. After that, I stamped the scene again using white pigment ink and smeared out the ink to create a chalkboard effect. I then did some quick colouring using my Inktense pencils and did a little more smearing using my fingers to add some colour to the embossed tree as well. I drew in a line to connect the stockings, swiped the edges of my card panel over my white ink pad and then mounted my panel onto a white card base. This is definitely one of the quickest cards I ever made, but I love how it turned out.
