Today I'd like to share a card I recently made for a 'Snow' Challenge. I used a new stamp I received for Christmas ~ this adorable Penny Black Winter Fairy.
I started by stamping her on a 6" square and coloring with my Copic markers. I used Wink of Stella, Clear on the 'ice' on her wings after coloring. I'm NOT an artist but tried to draw in the snow and added a few shades of Copics on the snowy hills also.
I wanted it to look like she was 'making magic' when she kissed the snowball, so I stenciled in the stars. I made sure they were in a small pattern near her face and the stream of stars broaden as they flowed behind her. I used the Altenew Milkway Stencil to give this wavy effect.
When completed I used Pink & Main's Stitched Rounded Square die for the edging. This reduced the size to about 5 1/4" square. Next I cut a solid coordinating aqua mat about 1/8" larger than the colored image. For the card base I selected a 6" white base and covered the front with a galaxy paper. I secured the mat and colored image to the card ~ front tilted to the left. This left plenty of room in the bottom left corner to add a sentiment when I decide how I'll use the card.
