Sleigh Ride

Hello there friends!  I've got a gem of a slimline card using goodies from Scrappy Tails Crafts Candlelight Christmas release.  You can check all the new products out right HERE.

I started with an 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" panel of Bristol paper.  I created a ink blended night sky using Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet and Milled Lavender Distress inks.

I splattered the panel with water and dabbed it off.  Then I splattered it with Copic Opaque White ink mixed with water.

I set that aside to dry.  Next I cut some white hills for my scene out of Bristol.  I wanted to give them a little depth so I colored the edges with Copic markers.  I used BG000 and BG0000.

Now I stamped the sleigh and one of the small houses from the English Winter Village set.  I stamped them onto more Bristol with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink.  I felt the gray ink was a little less jarring than black. I used Zig Clean Color real brush markers to color the images.  Once they were all colored, I cut them out with the coordinating English Winter Village dies.

Back to those hills.  I felt they needed a bit more.  I found Crushed Ice effect paste in my stash.  It was the perfect addition!  I also embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set with silver embossing powder.

Now let's build a card!  I did go ahead and splatter the stamped images with white ink so they'd fit in with the back ground.  

I put foam tape behind the top part of the sleigh image.  The texture paste made it a bit too bumpy on the bottom to glue it flat to the hill.

I cut several small snowflakes from the Snowflake Spinner add on dies.  I glued them over the panel and added silver gems from the Festive Gems mix.

The final step was to glue the whole panel onto an 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" card base.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Scrappy Tails Breast Cancer Awareness Hop

Hey there friends!  I wanted to let you know I'm participating in a hop for a great cause over on Instagram.   You can head HERE to hop along but I also wanted to share it here as well!

You can get the awareness set HERE in the Scrappy Tails Crafts store.

Scrappy Tails Breast Cancer Awareness Hop

Today, we are raising awareness for breast cancer with a very “pink” Instagram card hop! Have you ever struggled to make a beautiful card for a family member or friend, who is dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis? It can be so hard to find the right words to say on a card & today’s hop will hopefully give you some inspiration on how to create uplifting encouragement cards.

The Scrappy Tails design team members have each worked with our new “Breast Cancer Awareness” set  to create beautiful encouragement cards. For just $19.95, you can purchase this beautiful set.

ALL profits from the sets will go to two breast cancer research hospitals, the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership in Everett Washington & the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa Florida.

Fellow Scrappy Tails’ crafter, Meredith (@my_4angelsdesigns) reached out to us to see if we would help her with her mission to bring smiles to breast cancer fighters & survivors through handmade greeting cards. Meredith herself is a recent breast cancer survivor. The owner of Scrappy Tails, Sabrina, was touched & wanted to help. This topic is very dear to Sabrina’s heart, because her mom, Kirsten, was diagnosed with breast cancer as well & has been fighting her own fight.

Together, Meredith & Sabrina designed this coordinating stamp & die set to help raise money for the two hospitals where both Meredith & Kirsten were treated. It would mean the world to us if you’d consider purchasing a set!

Please leave your comments along the hop for a chance to win a $25 giftcard to Scrappy Tails. Design team member, Kristina (@ruok72) also sponsored a pink ribbon stamp & die set to one lucky commenter!
