Her first card features the snowboarding moose from our retiring Moose Mountain Stamp Set:

This card features a gorgeous orange and yellow background that was stenciled using inks with our Snowfall Stencil. She also used our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Sets to cut white snow.  and added black tree silhouettes using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set. The whole scene was cut out with our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a scalloped edge.

Stars and a cloud were die cut using our Sky Scene Builder Die Set. She also added snowy hills using our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Sets.

  • (Left photo above): I stamped the images using Llama Delivery Stamp Set and the Moose Mountain Stamp Set and colored them with copic markers. Colors listed below:

    LLAMA:
    Red: R27, R24, R22
    Green: YG05, YG03, YG01
    Teal: BG13, BG11, BG10
    Blue: B00, B02
    White: E43, E41, E40
    Grey: C9, C7, C5

    MOOSE:
    Blue: Bg09, BG07, BG05 + BG13, BG11, BG10
    Yellow: Y14, Y12, YR02
    Orange: YR09, YR07, YR20

  • (Center photo above): I colored the backgrounds with ink and went over them with a stencil and the same ink. This creates a pretty tone on tone background.

  • (Right photo above): At the last step I die cut some trees and clouds form the Sky scene builder and Forest scene builder die set.
