Stampin' In Alaska

I'm joining the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge with their Christmas option.  The mousey image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Copic Markers. Designer paper layers are from a Hobby Lobby Winterland Cabin paper pad.  All layers were mounted onto red glitter card stock.  The final card size is 5.50 inches square.  A few gems complete the card.

  I'm sharing a mixed media Christmas card featuring the Forest Silhouettes Die set from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps). The card base is a Gelli Print which was created using acrylic paints and a Memory Box snowflake stencil.  The Psalm 23 Background stamp from Creative Worship Stamps was stamped in Majestic Blue Versafine ink then light white paint splatters were applied. I went "old school" creating the snowy base by tearing then inking the edges of white card stock.  The dies were adhered and finished with silver cord and a sentiment from Colorado Craft Company.

  I've created a couple of snowy cards tonight. Both cards were stamped onto gloss photo paper from my stash.  I have several stacks of the photo paper that comes with printers.  Since I never print photos I decided to experiment with ink blending and stamping tonight.   The first card was created using the emboss resist technique and stamps from Unity Stamp Company.  The second was ink blended then stamped with Versafine Black ink.  Various distress inks were used for the base.
