Sweater Scene

Hi and welcome!  I made this card while I was off work over the Christmas break and it is inspired by the adorable critter scene cards made by Nichol Spohr.  


I coloured the critters in browns and their clothing in blues and greens before fussy cutting out.  For the background, I took a panel of Brisol Smooth cardstock and ink-blended various shades, finishing with a bit of black on the edges.  Once it was dry, I white-embossed the Snowfall BG stamp.  I gave a touch of colour to the tree die-cuts before arranging them behind the "snow bank".  Once the background was completed I added the critters - each holding a to-go coffee cup.


I went hunting for a smallish Christmas sentiment that mentioned warmth and found this in a Your Next Stamp set, which worked perfectly!


I'm entering this in a few challenges - the brand new Caffeinated Christmas Card challenge (I hope these snowflakes are defined enough), Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge and Tic Tac Toe, where I went with Blue, Animal and Free.






Thanks so much for visiting!
