Neat & Tangled November Release and Giveaways - Day 3

Welcome back for Day 3 of the Neat & Tangled November release!

Today we're showing off Elena's new set, So Cool.

You saw a few of the images from the set on my stenciled card yesterday, and today I'm showing off the little ice fishing kid.

I've really been into one layer(ish) cards lately.  I say ish because while I'd like to just make one layer cards right off the bat, I'm not that good.  First of all I hate masking, and second of all my stamping tends to be a little suspect and I know if I tried to do everything in one layer I'd mess up a hundred times before I got it right.

However, I can stamp and color and die cut an image and then move it around on my card front until I'm happy with it's position....much easier than masking/trying to get it right the first time!

So that's what I did here.  Once my colored images were done, I played around with placement and once I was happy with where the ice fishing was going to happen, I put down a strip of post-it tape to create a ground line and then stamped the little ice fishing hole, added a teeny bit of coloring to that and the water droplets, and adhered my other pieces in place.

The sentiment is from my Scandinavian Prints Christmas set, but I thought it went perfectly with the image.

Alright, time to head over to the Neat & Tangled blog to see everyone else's projects and to enter to win a set for yourself.  Don't forget to leave a comment here also as I'll be picking some winners for my new release goodies on Friday.
