Sweet November Preview "Christmas Fairwees" Day 3 + ATS Wednesday Challenge

Welcome to the last day of the Sweet November stamp previews for October. I have two more Christmas cards today featuring the Christmas Fairwees "Mistletoe Josie" and "Piper and Her Snowman."

I stamped Mistletoe Josie onto an oval panel cut with Spellbinders Nestabilites and colored with Copic Markers. I then stamped the mistletoe image portion of the image onto another piece, colored with Copics and cut out. I superimposed it over the main panel, offsetting it and also adding some dimensional dots here and there for a 3D effect. The sentiment is also new from this release. The paper is from the new Basic Grey Nordic Holiday 6x6 pad.


Copics: Skin-E000, E00, E11, R20; Hair-E33 E35, E37, E57; Dress-R32, R27, R59; Mistletoe-G40, G82, G85, E50, E51

My second card uses Piper and Her Snowman. I stamped the image, colored with Copics and then cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities. The sentiment is from the Handy Christmas Wishes sentiment set by Amy R. for C.C. Designs. The paper is from the new Echo Park Holly Jolly 6x6 pad.


Copics: Skin-E000, E00, E11, R20; Hair-E50, E51, E53, E55; Clothing-G0000, G12, R24, R27, R29; Snowman-G0000, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, R24, R27, R29, YG61, YG63, YG67; Shadows-BG0000
