CAS Warm Hugs


My third and final entry for the My Favorite Things 2017 Card Design Superstar Contest.  


I am entering this card in the Clean and Simple Genius Category.  Jennifer McGuire shared a technique in a video in which she used daubers to do multi color stamping with solid stamps.  I used this technique with Distress Oxide Ink.  An important tool for this card is a stamp positioner. I stamped the hat, scarf and mittens with a white pigment ink.  Next I cleaned the stamps then used sponge daubers to add Distress Oxide Ink to the stamps.  I reapplied the ink and stamped the images multiple times until I liked the colours.  I stamped the stitch details in navy blue dye ink.  The sentiment is white heat embossed.  Finally I added some final details with a white gel pen.  
I used stamps from My Favorite Things sets "Winter Warmth" and "Merry Christmoose".  Very fun challenge, so many amazing entries!
Thanks for stopping by.
