A big congrats to Debra, the newest Featured Stamper! What a big, wonderful gallery! I chose This to case. I kept the same layout & similar colors, but I used different images & a recycled Christmas card for my background.
I came across a stack of Christmas card fronts (store bought) I had saved & thought the little river w/ the snowy banks just seemed perfect for my boat. After I stamped it & colored w/ Copics I used what I call "into the window" technique shown HERE. Then I die cut the outer frame & stamped part of the greeting in the lower right. The top loop of the F went into the picture so I took a white gel pen and went over that loop to make it stand out.
Congrats again, Debra! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff
