Happy Halloween! I'm bucking the current holiday and sharing a Christmas card instead.
This card has been percolating in my head ever since I saw this card that Beth Opel created.
I immediately thought of this quote from Elf and then remembered that I actually had a stamp with that quote...Mama Elephant's retired Alpine Carolers set.
I stamped the kids and speech bubble from my I Was Wrong stamp set with Gina K Amalgam ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, and used Copics to color.
I used R22, R24, and R29 for the reds, YR0000, YR000, and Y31 for the skin, E13, E15, and E18 for the little boy's hair, and Y21, E31, and E33 for the little girl's hair.
For the background, I thought about inking it, but decided to go with Copics instead, using G03, G05, G09, and G17.
I added some gray accents around the inside of the speech bubble using C1 and C2, and then stamped the sentiment with Versa Claire black.
I decided that it needed a little something else, so I masked off the stamped images, and added some snow using paste and the Falling Snow stencil.
This was lots of fun to make and had me smiling the whole time!
