Hello all, Kia here with you today. I had some fun doing this card which I wanted to share with you.
I started the background with my die cut panel using a Tim Holtz stencil called Pines, which I placed on a slight angle. I dragged my Versamark embossing ink pad both across and down the stencil ensuring I did not cover the entire stencil. I then heat embossed using white embossing powder. For my colour I painted using Ken Oliver Color Burst powders in Turquoise, Chartruese and Phalo Green, then set aside to dry.
I then stamped my images using Ranger Archival ink in Sepia and cut my images, then watercoloured using Zig Clean Color Brushes. I stamped everything from the set as I am never sure what I will use. I tuck the left overs in the back of my set storage for use another time. Once I was finished with the watercolour I painted the hats with acrylic white paint giving the “fur” texture, and when that was dry I went over it with Clear Wink of Stella.
I stamped the sentiment on the card panel using Ranger Library Green and attached the panel to fun foam, then attached to a light blue card base using Be Creative tape. I then made a mix using Perfect Pearls with a fair amount of water and painted over the panel which gives the panel a beautiful shimmer. I proceeded to style the images slightly and attached using glue and foam squares.

I then went on to the inside of my card, again using the Pine stencil on my Wonky stitched panel, this time brushing on the inks in Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles. I stamped the sentiment using the Library Green ink, I think the “falala” is the perfect sentiment for this card.
Thank you for joining me today and for visiting the Scrap’n Stamp Blog.
