Hello everyone! Hope your start to the winter has been good! If you live
in a snowy climate - has it snowed yet? Today I'll be showing you how
I created this adorable sledding girl using products from
This was lots of fun to create! Let me tell you how I made my card! I
first composed my design in the computer and printed it out.
I printed this onto 80lb white card stock. I have an ink jet printer - so nothing
special. Originally this was going to be a one layer card, so I printed the
whole image at first. Then I printed another image of just the little girl
so that I could fussy cut and pop her up on foam tape.
I started by die cutting my panel. I used a pierced rectangle die.
I then started my coloring with my Copic markers. I kept these blends to a
minimum, starting with the trees first.
I colored my little girl image the same way...simple blends of blue,
purple and aqua. Copic colors used: W3, W6, W8, BG 72, BG75, BG78,
B41, B32, B24, RV02, 100, C5, C8 E37, E47, E49, E30, E34, E33, E35,
BV00, BV02, BV13, BG00, BG13, BG15
Once my little girl was colored I fussy cut the image and popped her up on
foam tape. I used a silver sparkle pen and gave touches to the fringe on her
scarf, her hat, her cuffs and her boots. I also chose my background paper.
It's from Whimsy Stamps called "Chilly". I used a shimmer pen on the snow
on the trees and the sentiment.
Next I wanted to add some dimensional snow. I mixed some Picket Fence
Paper Glaze Velvet in Winter Snowfall and some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in
Moonstone. Using a palette knife, I spread this around, adding a little daba
to the tops of the trees, the sentiment, a little on the sled runners, her hat,
and scarf. I let this dry naturally - I did not use a heat tool. Although it
warped a little, it was not bad. To adhere this panel to my card, I covered
my white A2 size card base with the background paper, then I used a
solid piece of double sided adhesive foam. By using a solid piece of
foam there would be no sagging part and the warping of the paper was
no longer an issue. I added a few holographic snowflake sequins and
my card was finished!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial with digital stamps. They are so easy to work
with! You can find this set and many others at
