The current Stamping in Time challenge on ODBD is to make Christmas cards. I'm not in to win with only one entry, but at least this completes my quota of July Christmas cards.
I stamped the chickadee on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks. Originally I masked it and stamped snowflakes in the background and then washed it lightly with Stormy Sky, but I didn't like the look. I tell ya, when I am planning to cut a watercoloured image out I do NOT stamp it on good thick paper, I use my carefully hoarded lightweight paper. But I persevered and cut this out rather than let it go to waste.
A2 white base. I stamped the Penny Black sentiment with Versafine Olympia Green, then masked a slight border on the left and top and added some foliage from Kodomo.
Lotus Pendant cut from green Bazzill and stamped with a foliage stamp for added contrast. It's popped up on foam, and red Liquid Pearls added to each point. Bird is popped up on more foam.
