It's my week at the There She Goes blog and I've challenged everyone to "Create a Scene" using stamps, etc. I had so much fun making this card and look forward to making more cards with scenes. TSG Stamps definitely lend themselves to mixing and matching to create something amazing.
For my card, I decided to use one of the new sets called "Snowy Days" (my fave set of all time from There She Goes) and "Treemendous". I wanted to make the snowboarding dog to look like he was making a jump. Okay.... okay... I'm not a snowboarder so I don't know the lingo... Is it "taking air"? Flying? Who knows... I sure don't. I first stamped the tree in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and Versamark and then embossed it with Irridescent Ice from SU. (It's glittery IRL but doesn't show well in the pic). I then sponged the background with Soft Sky, Bermuda Bay and Not Quite Navy. I cut some Vellum and some DP and then tore the edges to make it look like mounds of snow. The edge of each of the vellum and DP have been sponged with either Soft Sky (vellum) or Bermuda Bay (DP). I then put some Diamond Stickles on the edge of that to add a bit more dimension. I've watercolored the snowboarding dog with my Watercolor pencils and then cut it out and popped it up. The clouds were made from felt and with the Clouds Die-namic from MFT.
