Hello everyone,
I am deep into Christmas creating over here, so I thought I would pop by and share a few cards and tags I made today using the super cute Mama Elephant set that is filled with playful reindeers. The set was released awhile ago, however, I just picked up the stamp and die combo recently, when I saw it on sale.
I started off by stamping a full sheet of Neenah solar white cardstock with the images, using Gina K Designs Amalgam ink, and went to town colouring them with my copics. All the reindeers are coloured similar with E31 and E33, and the hoofs and antlers were E37. The grey is W1. I kept them all fairly simple, with not a ton of shading,as I was trying to get 30 images coloured in one take while the baby was napping.
As for the paper, I used only scraps I had on hand. I have been working hard at using bit and pieces up and not cutting into a new sheet right now. Later in the season, that will come, but for now, there are so many scraps, there is no need.
I also made 12 Tags. Once again, scrap bits for these cuties. I sell tons and tons of tags at my Christmas shows, and I know these guys will be some of the first to go this year. Or I may just keep them for myself!!
In total, I made 20 cards and 12 tags so far with this set, and I am sure a few more will follow.
I know many crafters are starting their Christmas creations already, so keep going and those that are procrastinating, like I usually do, get on it! Hopefully you see something that sparks you, and inspires you.
Remember...be creative, think of others and kindness always matters.
Kim
