Best Friends

Good morning and welcome back to the Inspiration Blog.  We are so happy that you’re here to check out this winter celebration!  I can’t wait to share the details of how to create a card with these little best friends!

I started by die cutting an A2 white card base with the Postage Collage Dies.  Now it’s time to pick out the character stamps from the Frosty Friends Postage Collage Stamp Set.

I like to stamp the images in Raven ink with my stamping tool, then color and restamp them again in Raven ink for a nice crisp black outline.  It makes the images look much cleaner with the double stamp.

You can see the before and after from these pictures.  The finished product is a very crisp & clean look.  Next, I added a little sparkle with a glitter pen to all the balls on the hats.  It’s just a fun little addition that adds a little visual interest.  

To finish off the card, I cut the “stamps” apart and arranged them on a lavender, A2 card base.  I stamped the sentiment in Raven ink & the sentiment is from the Christmas Postage Collage Stamp Set.  Some of the stamps are adhered with foam squares to pop them up a bit.  I finished off the card with a scattering of some sequins that also look a little like snow balls!  

I think these little friends are just the best!  It was such a pleasure to create with these images!  I added the cute little fox to the inside of the card. 

I hope you find some time today to get crafty.  It’s good for the soul!  Crafty hugs, LeeAnn
