Hello and welcome to week 8 of the #runuptochristmashop2023 and this week we're being inspired to Make A Scene. Now I love scenic stamping so this challenge is "right up my alley" so to speak and I knew the stamp set I wanted to use. I just received this Snow Village set by Impression Obsession from a friend that's been on my wish list for some time now. I decided to use my church in Anchorage, Alaska as inspiration for my scene.
I started out by stamping the village in memento tuxedo black ink on a slimline scrap panel before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers. Once my coloring was finished, I pulled out my Slimline Cloud stencil from Picket Fence Studios and created my cloud background using Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and blending brushes. At this point, I decided I needed some more trees and a couple of snowmen, so I stamped those on scrap white card stock, colored using gel pens, then cut out to adhered to my card. After stamping my saying from Colorado Craft Company's Bethlehem's Light, I then adhered the image panel to a spruce green card before adding the clay snowflakes from plum pudding sequin mix and diamond ice stickles because snow just had to sparkle.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, and the church scene is beautifully colored. You all got really hammered with snow in a short period of time, so I hope you are safe and warm. My step-daughter lives in Anchorage, and I am sure she'd agree that your card is fabulous as well! Thanks for joining us at Cardz 4 Guyz! I hope to see you in the gallery again soon. Sue - DT
