PIP Challenge 2408

Jan's Digi Stamps

 

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Jan's Digital Stamps.  I would like to thank Jan for her sponsorship for this weeks challenge.  I made two cards for this week's challenge using Jan's Sleigh Ride digital set for both of them.

I started out by combining the sleigh, tree and sayings using Photoshop Elements before printing both combined images on Neenah white card stock.  Taking my Ranger mini blending foams and mini ink blending tools, I started stippling/blending Tim Holtz stormy sky, tumbled glass, chipped sapphire and picket fence distress inks before layering and adding silver brads.  For the card base, I rolled a long retired Stampin Up poinsettia jumbo wheel in fired brick distress ink before adhering my layered image using glue dots.  I then added some white/silver bakers twine from my stash, a long forgotten snowflake charm and then diamond ice stickles to highlight "snow mounds" and "snowflakes" to finish the card off.  As an afterthought, I grabbed the fired brick ink pad and added the color using the direct-to-paper technique.

My second card is a mini slimline with the same distress inks used only with a little heavier application of the chipped sapphire distress ink.  After edging the side of the image panel using a retired Stampin Up night of navy marker, I layered the image before adding silver brads and running a paper distresser along the bottom layer to "rough it up a bit" before adhering it to a navy card base using pop up glue dots.  The final touches were ice stickle snow/snowflakes and some silver star Stampendous stickers I've had in my stash for years.
