Christmas Card

Stamp: Penny Black 'The Wonder"

Tools: circle cutter, Faber Castell watercolour pencils, Martha Stewart Scandinavian Snowflake punch, doily, bling, pattern paper

Done this card based on sketch by MFT Wednesday Sketch #491 challenge and I am using Penny Black cute critter Christmas theme clear stamp. 

Pretty easy card to make when I follow the sketch. The stamp image was coloured with watercolour pencils, fussy cut and adhered to a round white card stock cut out from snippet of white card stock using Olfa circle cutter (..which has not seen the light of days for ages..). Added snowflakes and red doily for the festive feel.

Rubber stamp: vase with flower

Memory Box 'Alphabet Soup' die for the sentiment

soft pastel,  MementoTuxedo Black, colour pencils 

I coloured the background using soft pastel, mixing red and blue to get the lilac colour since my soft pastel set does not have this colour. I have to look up in Google for colour mixture.

Created the bubble by rubbing off the background using eraser and circle stencil (which I use 2 sizes of hole punch to punch on paper as stencil).  I learned this  pastel Nagomi technique recently via free online course. Love it. 

Stamped the image and coloured with colour pencils, fussy cut and adhere to the bookmark. The sentiment was cut using Memory Box Alphabet Soup dies.

Trying my hands on using small stamp to make cards. These stamps have been in my cupboard for many years and never use before. Quite difficult to colour the image as it is quite small.
