Cozy Christmas Wishes

 Morning.
Meet today's card.

I pulled out this Stampendous stamp that I have had for years and thought it was time to make a card using it.  Love the sweet, vintage look it has.

I began by masking off my white cardstock using Painter's tape and stamped the image using black Memento ink.  I colored the girls using Copic markers and sponged on some Distress inks around the images.  To add to the postcard feel, I stamped the Penny Black script faintly in the background.  It really helped to add further interest to the overall design.
 I splattered with white acrylic paint then added some Wink of Stella to their faces which unfortunately doesn't show up in the photo.
Lastly, I mounted the stamped image onto a piece of maroon paper that I had silver embossed on the edges.



 Adding my card to these challenges:

    Karen, You did an outstanding job with that fantastic image! Excellent job masking for that fabulous background. Any idea the name of that Stampendous stamp of the two girls! I'd love to hunt for that one!

    What a beautiful way to use that stamp, Karen! I have some similar ones that never get inked because I'm stumped on what to do. Love your coloring & the silver embossed edges! PS--I'm so honored you picked my OLS card--thank you! It truly is one of my favorites even though I could have made it 20 yrs ago as a beginner if I'd had good quality cardstock & Perfect Pearls--haha!
