New Penny Black Christmas sneak peek and a challenge for "Stamp Something"

Ta da...this  is one of Penny Black's new stamps for Christmas called Snow Kiss. Don't you just love it!!! I am so in love with all of their new releases and can't wait to share them all. This stamp  won't be available in the stores until the mid to end of August but, you will still have plenty of time to make those homemade Christmas cards.

 



I hope this this helps with how I colored her hair. One of these days I will have to learn how to do a video. If you have questions please let me know. 

The background was stamped & distressed in tumbled glass by Ranger.  This is the set I used on so many of my cards that you will be seeing and it's in the background on this card.

This set can be purchased now here. First I punched a 3" diameter circle out of the red cardstock  and set aside. I  punched a larger circle in white and stamped with the crystalline set and distressed in Tumbled Glass then added some white dots to the "snowflakes".  I stamped the image two times in Tuxedo Black Ink and color with desired Copic markers.

For the face I used YR000 and the cheeks RV00. Greens are YG07 and YG67. Reds are R29 & R39.
To highlight the bear I used YR000, E17 & E33. This photo above shows that I cut all the way around the girl because this way it's faster to cut out the negative space. I like to color under the images that I will be adding dimensional foam to give the card a more finished look (for example see the scarf. When finished  I added white pen accents around the circle, and the Mimi's coat, holly,berries, and the bears scarf.  When finished add Glossy Accents to the bears nose, holly and the berries. The water punch is from Fiskars.

I'll post my few photos from CHA tomorrow. Have a great night :)
