Christmas garland (Create A Smile)
It's also the first card I made with kraft cardstock and I really like the look of it! First, I stamped the little meerkats from the Friends and Couples stamp set also by Create A Smile on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also used the little Santa hat from the Holiday Party Animal set by Lawn Fawn which is the perfect size for the meerkats. I colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers (hat: CR 10, DR2 + Liquid Appliqué, meerkat: EB2, GB8, GB10). I popped up the Liquid Applique which is always fun to watch! Really love it!
Then I took the large sentiment which says "Weihnachten" (Christmas) and mounted it on my acrylic block a bit curved so it looks like a garland (which is what the meerkats are intended to hold in the set they are from) and stamped it with Yeti pigment ink on a kraft card base. I also stamped the word "frohe" (here: merry) above the large sentiment and adhered the meerkats on each side.
And I didn't really like how it looked. I wanted to include some more fun Christmas accessoires and found them in the Reindeer Games set by Mama Elephant. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly on the kraft cardstock so they look as if they would hang from the Christmas garland. I then colored them with Faber Castell watercolor pencils which created a really nice effect.
