For the background, I ink blended Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I spritzed it with a little bit of water to create a little dimension.
I really wanted to use the A-2 Tree Frame die and I wanted it cut from a Pixie Dust cardstock. However, once I had it cut out, I didn't like how harsh the edges looked. I had my blending brushes out from doing the background, so I thought I would see what the cardstock looked like if I hit the edges with a little distress ink and I really liked it. I used Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink. I also cut a second piece of cardstock to create a little hill for my skier. I also hit those edges with a little ink. The picture doesn't really show how frosty it looks.
All of the coloring is done with Copic markers in the following colors:
- YR01, YR02, YR07
- Y00, Y04, Y08
- YG01, YG03, YG07, G09
- B000, B01, B12, B16
- BV0000, BV000, BV01, BV04
- E31, E33, E35
- C1, C2, C4, C5, C6
This was the first time I used a blue-violet for coloring snow and I really liked the way it turned out so I am sure I will be using it in the future.
For the sentiment, I used the Simply Sentimental Merry and the Simply Sentimental Christmas. I stamped and cut the words from white cardstock. I colored the inside of the letters and the outside white edge with Copic markers to tie it into the scene.
Once I had put everything together, I felt like I needed a little something in the upper right hand corner. I had some little snowflakes I had cut out for another card in the same Pixie Dust cardstock, so I put them in the upper corner. Perfect!!
This is such a fun card and I wish that my pictures could capture the sparkle! Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope that you have been inspired to make a snGNOME scene of your own.
