Winter Friends

The Splitcoaststampers Free for All Challenge this week is to use light in your project.

I chose to use the street lamp from the Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly and Cardinals Cling Stamp Set for the light challenge, the cardinal with holly are also from this set.  I started by distressing the snowy sky designer paper from the HFC Snow Kissed Paper Collection, added one Momento Banboo ink sponged tree from the Snow Kissed Spruce Cling stamp set.  The bunny and deer are from the HFC Woodsy Critters Cling Stamp Set , they, as well as the snowman, were colored with Zig Clean Brush markers.  The lantern and cardinal were colored with Tombow and SU markers and a Tombow  blender pen, I stamped two of the lantern image and cut out the candle section, then layered the pieces with foam tape for lots of dimension.  Because the lantern pole is short, I cut out two to extend the lantern toward the ground.  The sweet snowman is from the HFC Frolicking Frosty Cling Stamp set.

The sentiment is from the HFC Winter's Eve Cling Stamp Set and was stamped on a MFT tag die.

The gate was stamped in dark grey with the HFC Festive Gate Cling Stamp and sponged with the same grey ink.  All of the images were cut out with their corresponding dies.

After the card was complete, I added snow with the DecoArt Snow Writer and topped it with Papericious Frosting Powder  and glitter glue to add more accents.

Blessings,
