I have (yet) another Christmas card to share today, this time featuring an older Penny Black stamp called 'A Wish & a Kiss'. I stamped him onto a snippet of watercolour paper, added a line for the snowy ground using a black gel pen, then coloured him using watercolour pencils before carefully cutting around the top of the image. For the background, I stamped my 'Festive Background' stamp by Woodware onto a snippet of pink paper from the 'Pastel Watercolours' pad from The Works, using Versamark ink, then heat embossed it using white embossing powder. I layered the duck over the top, then matted it onto a piece of bright pink card before adding it to a white card blank.

ReplyDeleteOMG, what a breathtaking background. Beautifully embossed, and the pink paper is fantastic. It really radiates a cheerful vibe and brings to mind a glorious, snowy winter landscape. And that funny goose!!! You really colored it so perfectly. Simply delightful. I love it.
