Key Ingredients:
- Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set
- Winston Takes Flight Die Set
- Papa Bear Stamp Set
- Clouds Stencil
- Mountains Stencil
Step By Step Instructions:
- Die cut from Copic X-Press paper all the elements you need for your card, using the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set. I used on this project Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
- Stamp the outline illustrations from Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
- Color the stamps with COPIC MARKERS. I used on this card:
- bear E30-E31-E33-E35-E37
- yellow Y00-Y11-Y13-Y15-Y17-YR68
- blue B0000-B00-B32-B34-B37-B39
- grey C00-C2-C4-C6
- red R20-R35-R39
- Trim and score a small slimline card base (6 ″ x 3 1/2″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
- Trim a slightly smaller rectangle for the background and ink it with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide, using Clouds Stencil.
- Ink mountains towards the bottom, using Mountains Stencil and Pumice Stone Distress plus Ground Espresso Distress inks. Use a removable tape to hold the stencil in place.
- Add the snow on the mountains, using the same Mountains Stencil and a white embossing paste.
- Stamp the sentiment from Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set inside the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- Stamp the small heart from Papa Bear Stamp Set, color it with copic markers and fussy cut with the sharp small scissors.
- Color the edges with a black brush marker to hide any imperfections due to the fussy cutting.
- Arrange and pop on a foam tape all the elements.
- Finish with a couple of white accents added with a white gel pen.
That’s all for today! Hope you like this cute card! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
Hugs,
