It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. Mary is hosting this week and she has chosen colors perfect for Christmas - Real Red, Cucumber Crush and Marina Mist. And fortunately, dessert is to make your card a Christmas card!
For my card, I gladly dove right into Christmas using the October 2017 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero card kit, which has a ton of cute little images to create a Christmas scene. It also included background dies for mountains and trees, which I used with white card stock, ink blended the trees with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, then sprayed both pieces with Shimmer mist.
As those pieces dried, snowflakes were clear embossed on the background panel of Bristol, ink blended with Broken China, then also sprayed with the Shimmer mist. When all those pieces were dried they were adhered together and cut to an A2 card size.
The snowy hills were also die cut and sprayed then layered on the panel when dry. To finish the scene, all the other images were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black on Bristol, watercolored with die inks (and a few Zig markers to color skin, shoes and belts) then die cut or fussy cut if no die was available. The house and sentiment were popped up on foam tape.
Please be sure to join us this week for this fun Color Challenge!

What a wonderful winter scene. I love the adorable little people, snow covered mountains and layered snow. The cozy little house looks very warm with the smoke coming from the chimney.

What an absolutely adorable card! I love the Santa and Mrs. Santa along with the elf and really all the elements that go together to make this scene so festive and cute! A lot of work, but worth the effort!
