Mom - U Rock!

Hi there,

it's Tanja here with a super cute Mom-Son-Card:

• cut out a stitchted rectangle from watercolor paper
• stamp the smallest snowman from the Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends stamp set with Versafine (Smokey Gray) - I use Versafine whenever I am coloring with watercolors because this ink doesn't bleed when getting into contact with water and doesn't stain your stamps - and mask him with Eclipse Tape
• stamp the "Mom" snowman with the same ink and mask her as well
• mask a hillshape
• stamp some birch trees in the background
• remove the hillshape mask and use the negative to cover the rest of the card
• apply Versamark and heat-emboss the snowy hill with JudiKins White Diamond embossing powder
• color the images, the tress and the background with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a waterbrush - as you see, you can use those for soft and pastel coloring as well
• add Liquid Applique to the rims and pompons of the caps
• stamp the U Rock! sentiment with Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Cornflower Blue) onto light grey cardstock
• use this same light grey cardstock as a cardbase and stamp a snowflake background with Delicata (Shimmery Silver)

Here is a close-up:

Have a christmassy day.

Yours,
