Welcome back and I have another entry for the "Winter Blues" challenge going on the whole month of December on theLost Coast Portal to Creativity

I made a fun Gnomes card for this entry using the 2 Gnomes stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the Resign from Adulthood clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda.  

For my first step, I created a white card base.  I then took a piece of dark blue card stock and using a "snow fall" die, I created what looks like a night sky with snow falling.  I attached that to my card base.  I stamped my gnomes with dark blue ink onto white card stock and colored them with green and navy blue Copic Sketch markers.  I then cut them out and attached them to the lower left corner with foam tape.

I stamped my sentiment onto white paper with dark blue ink and ran it through my printer to reduce the size to 75%.  I edged that with blue ink and affixed it to the upper right corner as shown.

Easy peasy and you gotta' love those gnomes! 

Happy Winter!

Winter Blues: A Boy and His Dog

Happy December to all!  I hope this finds you all safe and healthy and enjoying preparations for the coming holidays.

The monthly theme at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for the entire month of December is "Winter Blues".  In keeping with that, I have made a card using the Georges and Louis stamp, the  Small Snowflake Set, and one of the stamps from the ATC Miscellaneous Set #6, all from Lost Coast Designs.

I stamped Georges and Louis with black ink onto white card stock and cut them out.  I then restamped Georges's coat and hat with blue ink, cut them out, and superimposed them atop my original stamped image.  I added a bit of color to George's face and used a light brown marker to add some color to Louis.  I glued some enamel dots for buttons onto the coat and a white pompom on top of the hat.

I used a blue Oxide ink and a stencil to create the background.  I edged that with the same blue ink, then taking a couple of the snowflake stamps and the same ink, stamped snowflakes randomly across the background.  Using black ink I used one of the ATC set stamps and lightly and randomly stamped some script across the background.

I attached Georges and Louis to the card front and layered it with a white panel.

Hop on over to the Portal and enter your "Winter Blue" creations.

  The randomly drawn winner will win some free stamps!

Happy Holidays!
