One-layer Christmas

Hello and welcome! Today, I'm popping in with a one-layer Christmas card for a couple of fun challenges.


After stamping the car from Tis the Season (Essentials by Ellen), I masked the stamped image using a Molotow masking liquid pen. When this was dry, I blended some inks through another mask that I had created using the smaller of the Window Frame dies (Pretty Pink Posh), that I bought using a gift PPP certificate that I had won. I thought it would be fun to mimic a snow globe to add some interest to my one-layer card. To blend the ground, I simply flipped my mask. After removing the masking on my image, I did some quick and simple colouring using Copics and then used a white Sharpie to add the snow. 

While I was making my preparations, I decided I might just as well create 2 cards instead of 1, so that's 2 more cards added to my Christmas card pile.

Tip: because I used 120 pound cardstock by Simon Says Stamp, I did not have any Copics bleeding to the back of my front panel, just perfect for a one-layer card.

Challenges:

LIM - #341 OLC Vehicles


SSS Wednesday - Add a sentiment


ATCAS - #117 One layer


Stamping Sensations - August Anything goes

CCC - #19 Anything Christmas goes

  2. I really like how you've framed this stamp and created a little winter scene and you've definitely achieved the look of a snow globe. Thank you for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

  6. I absolutely love this card - but how on earth did the Copics not bleed to the back of the panel? I use 160g/m² and I understand that converts to 109 lbs, so not that much less, and it bleeds a lot. Anyhow, I guess I'll just experiment a bit more!
