Mom - U Rock!

September 26, 2015

Hi there,

it's Tanja here with a super cute Mom-Son-Card:

cut out a stitchted rectangle from watercolor paper
stamp the smallest snowman from the Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends stamp set with Versafine (Smokey Gray) - I use Versafine whenever I am coloring with watercolors because this ink doesn't bleed when getting into contact with water and doesn't stain your stamps - and mask him with Eclipse Tape
stamp the "Mom" snowman with the same ink and mask her as well
mask a hillshape
stamp some birch trees in the background
remove the hillshape mask and use the negative to cover the rest of the card
apply Versamark and heat-emboss the snowy hill with JudiKins White Diamond embossing powder
color the images, the tress and the background with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a waterbrush - as you see, you can use those for soft and pastel coloring as well
add Liquid Applique to the rims and pompons of the caps
stamp the U Rock! sentiment with Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Cornflower Blue) onto light grey cardstock
use this same light grey cardstock as a cardbase and stamp a snowflake background with Delicata (Shimmery Silver)
