5 Days of Christmas Giveaways- Day 4

Hi everyone! It’s Suzy here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today with a card uses several older Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets including Winter Wonderland, Holiday Pals, and Christmas Friends.

Pretty Pink Posh: 5 Days of Christmas Giveaways- Day 4

I wanted to create a holiday scene using lots of images, so I made this card a slim-line, which measures 7” x 3.5”. I started by using Distress Inks on the background and cut some white glitter paper into a snow bank.

I stamped images from the 3 stamp sets on white cardstock with a light color of ink. I colored in all of these with colored pencils. I like how they leave such a soft look and let you add texture and shading. I colored 6 trees from the Holiday Pals stamp set to use on the background of the card. I stamped the four cute little friends from the Christmas Friends stamp set and arranged them in front of the trees.

I added some of the little birds from the Christmas Friends stamp set and then gifts from all three of these stamp sets. I arranged all of these into a little Christmas scene. I used the Happy Holidays Script Die for the sentiment. I die-cut it out of white cardstock and then applied clear glitter glue to the top of it for texture. I finished the card with some glitter drops and white glossy drops around the elements for snow. I also added a couple of the snowflake stamps from the Holiday Pals stamp set

  51. Since I don’t have any alcohol markers or watercolor markers, I do as little coloring as possible. When coloring is needed, I have a few cheap coloring pencils I use. I don’t have enough to do like shading or anything, but I am thankful to have those to use.
