Hi, crafty friends! It’s never to early for holiday cards, right? Although, I did technically create this back in the first half of December. Things just got so hectic before Christmas I never found the time to share. That time is now, apparently! 🙂

These images in this scene are all from the Winterwood collection from Purple Onion Designs, illustrated by Holly Mabutas. We have Frosty, Finn (with his tophat), Blossom the bunny and Will, who’s giggling next to Frosty. I stamped the Winter Neighborhood in fadeout ink for a no line effect in the background. Except for the holly on the tophat, there’s really nothing that screams holiday on this card, so it could easily work throughout the winter season and in my neck of the woods through the majority of spring, too, actually. Most of the snow is usually gone by mid May.

I colored the scene with Copics, then stamped the critters and the snowman again, this time using Obsidian ink from Altenew to get crisp black lines. This is a pigment ink, which doesn’t play nice with Copics, but as long as the coloring’s already complete, using this ink is totally fine. I sprinkled on Chunky White embossing enamel from Stampendous, melted the granules from the back of the paper and finished off the card with a sentiment from the Holiday Blurbs I stamp set that I stamped in Jalapeño Popper ink from My Favorite Things. I added some foam tape on the back of the speech bubble for a tiny bit of dimension on the card. This is an A6 size card, measuring 6 1/4 x 4 5/8″.

Not a whole lot of colors used given the large scene, but I did use 7 for the fox alone. But he came out so cute, it was totally worth it!
