Sending Snow Hugs with Pink Gem Designs

Hello everyone and a happy Friday...I hope that you have had a great week and  are looking forward to the weekend.

We've been busy pruning this week and we've more or less finished one of the terraces...another two to do !  We've decided to have a quiet chilling sort of day today, a little pottering around doing small  jobs as were out on a 10Km walk tomorrow so need to conserve the energy and our feet !

It's still beautiful and sunny during the day but the nights are definitely getting colder and i think well have the log burner on very soon.

Today I'm here with a Christmas card for Pink Gem Designs using the very cute new digital stamp Christmas Luna - isn't she a sweetheart

This is a gorgeous  set of stamps that included a black line image, a pre-coloured version and 2 sentiments.  

She reminds me of the little girl  Cindy Lou Who from the Christmas film The Grinch.

I have created a landscape A6 (UK Size), resizing the image to suit and adding one of the sentiments, before printing out onto alcohol friendly cardstock.

I normally use Transotype Perfect Colouring Paper 250g/m2  for my colouring printing it out at a reduced black intensity of around 40%  to prevent any bleeding and give a softer grey outline which I prefer.

Once coloured in with my Promarkers (see below for the colours), I used a snow stencil and clear embossing paste to add snow to the background.  Once this was completely dry I have blended a couple of distress inks across the sky - the stencil paste resists the ink.

To mount the image onto my card base I have added a panel of blue and silver glitter card and then finished off the design with sparkle on the Christmas trees and Luna's boots.

I really hope that you like my  card today and it would be lovely if you you leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
