Mail Delivery in Christmas in the Making


I thoroughly enjoyed colouring this image with the new Stampin' Blends.  The vintage images of the "Christmas in the Making" stamp set lend themselves perfectly to the use of this new colouring medium.

The Cherry Cobbler card base is layered with a Whisper White layer embossed with the Winter Wonder embossing folder to which Dazzling Diamonds has been added.

A strip of plaid DSP from "Christmas Around the World DSP" is adhered across the bottom with some Cherry Cobbler ribbon added across the top.

The art piece is stamped with Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin' Blend markers.  The background is washed with Watercolor pencils and an Aqua painter, and snow flakes added.  Some dazzling diamonds is added to the fur elements of the outfit.  This art piece is matted with Garden Green card stock, and before adhering to the card front a piece of red foil card stock was added to the left side.
