Happy Wednesday! Today I've got a couple cards featuring WPlus9's Holiday Hugs set. This is one of my favorite WPlus9 images, and it's pretty easy to color.
These cards are basically the same design, but to keep things interesting, I switched up the color schemes between them.
For my first card, I colored the bear with warm grays (W0, W1, W3), and the scarf/girl's outfit with R22, R24, R29, and R39. I used E000, E53, and BV00 for the skin tone, and C5, C7, and C9 for her hair, and then die cut my image.
Embossing paste was spread through Simon Says Stamp's Falling Snow stencil on a piece of Cement Gray cardstock, and set aside to dry.
Meanwhile, I freehand cut a snowdrift, and stamped the sentiment on it.
The dry stenciled piece and snowdrift were cut down to fit within a scalloped die cut panel, and adhered to the card base, and the colored image was popped up with foam tape.
For the second card, I went with cooler colors. Instead of fully coloring the bear, I just added a thin line of color (N1) next to each of the stamped lines. I used the same series of reds to color the bear's scarf, but the little girl's outfit was colored with B00, B12, B14, B06, and B18. The skind was colored with E00, E21, and E95 and the hair with E13, E15, and E18.
The rest of the card was put together in the same manner as the first, but this time I used a light blue for the sky piece and a white scalloped panel.
The sentiment is from Neat & Tangled's Scandinavian Prints Christmas set.
That's all for today, but I have one more Oldies but Goodies post to share this week, see you tomorrow!
