This is for 3 challenges...the sketch, CAS (it's a relative term, lol), & the Technique. For the CAS, it was to use Christmas greens. I used only greensÂ…5 shades of green from a Kaleidacolor ink pad. And since I really didnÂ’t color anything & itÂ’s all die cuts, it really was easy. For the Technique, we were to use small stamps to create something. I used 3 small images to make the large circle & a small greeting to make the border. I just eyeballed the placement & it worked out pretty good. For the sketch, I did a little finaglingÂ….I rotated it counterclockwise, my panel 5 is a bit larger to accommodate the snowman & my greeting is also round.
Everything was stamped w/ the fresh greens rainbow pad onto water color paper (thatÂ’s why it isnÂ’t bright white). For the snowman, I used a water brush to drag the color in for shadows then dried it & over stamped w/ the same ink to sharpen the details again. The panels were all die cut & I used the same inks & water brush to add color to the edges. A little stickles was added along w/ a glittery round embellishment I colored green w/ a Copic (it was clear).
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
