I mixed stamps from lawn fawn (specifically, the gnome, the banner, the cookies, and the gingerbread man), Wplus9, CSS, and Papertrey Ink to create my version:
The focal panel is one layer. I wanted it to look like a print, so everything was carefully (sooo carefully) masked. I started with the cookies, then the milk bottle, santa, the banner and finally the sunburst background. whew! I held my breath the entire time, and when I was coloring in the images, I prayed to Santa, "please Santa, no red-marker-bleeding.... and let my 3 year old still like what I've bought her for Christmas, because she keeps changing her mind."
So there you have it. hee.

ReplyDeleteI always adore all the cards you make, everything always looks so well thought out. This card is no exception. I know what you mean about masking! I've been doing this myself a lot for all the cards I want to mail and am afraid will come apart. I have been saving all my masks though, to use over and over. That makes it a tad easier.
