Fairy Stamper ~ Skating by with a Christmas Hello

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

I realized that I still need quite a few more Christmas cards, so here is the beautiful and graceful Arabella, from Fairy Hugs Stamps, skating by with a Christmas greeting from our home to yours!

I began by stamping Arabella and then created a mask for her and for the snowy ground. Next I inked the sky with a light blue and then masked off the moon as well.  Then using a darker shade of blue ink, I finished the rest of the sky. I didn't want a bright white moon as I wanted the focus to be on Arabella instead of Santa and his reindeer. When the sky was done, I removed all the masks, stamped the landscape and added colour to Arabella.  I added a little "frozen river" so she could have some smooth skating :-) Lastly, I stamped and coloured the lanterns.

 

On the inside, I printed the greeting and stamped a few more lanterns to the snowy banks for continuity of theme of the card. 

The landscape, lanterns, and Santa stamps are from Marianne Design. These are sold during the International Stamps Special Order events that the Fairy Stamper store holds every once in a while. The best way to know about these is to subscribe to the newsletter HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you will come play along with us and share your magical creations on our Facebook group.

Till next time,

crafty hugs!
