RIC#47 Christmas Card

I really need to stick to making Christmas cards for the next couple of weeks, so didn't think I was going to participate in the current Runway Inspired Challenge given the blue & orange color profile of this ensemble.




But you know how sometimes a challenge gets in your head and you just can't let it go? When I saw this Santa sleigh & reindeer (part of a larger image that needed to be masked), I had a lightbulb moment and knew I could work this color palette into a holiday card.




I stamped & heat embossed the Santa sleigh first, then masked & colored the moon before masking it and inking the night sky.




The image panel was attached behind a window die cut and then adhered to the blue woodgrain wall.




The Hero Arts sentiment is one of the few wood mounted stamps I still have kicking around in a drawer.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

  3. Way to think outside the runway box and make a card that is so detail oriented. Your work on this is amazing.
