Hi! Today the Gina K Design Team are having a blog hop featuring my new set, Life is Good. My card is inspired by this photo I found online. Step by step photos for this card are below.
I also made this CAS card, using the cabin from Life is Good and a sentiment from Warm Winter Wishes. The cabin was stamped on Pure Luxury white and colored with Copics, then cut out, trimming closely around the cabin. I stamped it again on Soft Sand and adhered the first cabin on top. Then I used an opaque white gel pen to color in some snow around the image.For even more inspiration tonight with the Life is Good stamp set, check out these links:

To make the first card pictured above, I started by sponging So Saffron (SU) ink on Pure Luxury white cardstock. (sorry the first two photos came out so blurry)
I punched a circle from a Post-it note for the sun and placed it, then sponged Apricot Appeal ink.
Sponged Creamy Caramel.
Sponged Chocolate Chip.
I used the cattail stamp to create some grass by leaving the tops un-inked. Then I stamped several times, using Creamy Caramel, stamping a second time before re-inking each time.
Stamped the deer.
I stamped, using the little grass stamp and Chocolate Chip ink, along the bottom. Then I stamped the cattails a few times, also with Chocolate Chip.
I stamped the trees a few times, using Creamy Caramel, stamping a second time before re-inking each time. I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss, Tan Leather and used a Chocolate Kiss cardbase.
Thank you so much for hopping along. Have a wonderful day!
