Once I had stamped my image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I proceeded to colour it using my Kooh-i-noor Woodless Colour Pencils and Gamsol. In order to make the ornament appear to be glass with a shiny finish, I went over it with my H2O paints. The shine is subtle but makes it stand out against the furry mice. For the snow, rather than colour it, I used my White Embossing paste and a spatula. I didn't like the way it looked against the Whisper White once it dried and so painted over it using the Frost White Shimmer paint. For the candle's flame, I set some yellow and red colour around the wick and then covered it with a coat of clear Nuvo drops. Once it was dry, I added some more yellow with my Stampin' Blends and a coat of Wink of Stella.
I cut the image using a large Oval Die and then cut a matte from Poppy Parade using an Oval Rickrack Die. I mounted it onto a piece of the versatile Wood Textures DSP and backed it with a piece of Kraft cardstock before mounting it onto a base of Heavy Whisper White. The sentiment, from the Hearts Come Home set, is heat embossed on Kraft Paper using White embossing powder.
I created this card for fun but am entering a couple of appropriate challenges with it:
HMFMC #280 - Anything Goes with an option of "Something Warm"
Colour Crazy Craft Challenge week 49 - Anything Goes Colouring Challenge
Winter Wonderland: End of year, Anything Christmas goes!
