Hello, my friends! Glad you stopped in ... I shopped the Flash Sale at WF and a darling little set from Waffle Flower: Winter Fun was delivered - I'm seeing ALL their sets with new eyes and envisioning their darling characters on that Postage Collage die!
Without further ado... do you want to build a snowman?? Here's how it all starts:
I placed the matting stencil over top of the Collage die cut panel and stamped all these snowmen and trees in Copic friendly CP ink. Then I did a little bit of background blending using a torn piece of post-it paper and blue ink with a small blending brush. I wasn't too worried about getting a little ink on the images.
Ha! that little dude in the lower middle is on his back on the skating pond -
he shares my skills!
Then I spent a little time adding Copic color to the images...
... adding some details with the postal stamps and coloring stencils.
The JUGS team are asking for a sports theme this week for challenge #698 - I think these darling little figure skaters fit the bill perfectly! I just have to make another that is a bit more CAS!
I love that Waffle Flower designed a Winter Cityscape cover plate die - here I've used a piece of patterned paper to make up the rink and city skyline in the distance but kept the snow white - except for all the 'dazzle' which I added with a Jelly Roll Stardust sparkle pen.
That's it for me this morning - I'd better get back to that CAS design!

What cute little images and gorgeous skating scenes. You are definitely making the most of that postage die. It is great to see xx
ReplyDeleteThese are just darling! I could not pick a favorite if I had to! The skyline behind the skaters reminds me of when I worked in NYC and would walk to Rockefeller center to watch people skating! Just so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Michele...I am in LOVE with all 3 cards!! Those snowmen just couldn't be any cuter and had to chuckle about your comment with the skill level of the bottom middle cutie...my skill level too! And your sweet little skaters? Both of those cards are so stinkin CUTE...LOVE them both! Your craft room must be full on Christmas and I'm loving the results!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteFun post! Postage snowmen - TOO CUTE. Super ice skaters too 😊. Thanks for joining in at JUGS
ReplyDeleteI don't know which is the most delightful, Michele! Those snowmen are such fun but then the kids at winter play are equally so! Love the cityscape in daylight and twilight!
ReplyDeleteWell these are just about as cute as they can be! Those little skaters are extra sweet. Love the pink version!
ReplyDeleteOoh I think the santa stamps may be my favourite ones yet!! You never fail to inspire my friend x
ReplyDeleteOh these are darling cards, and beautifully colored.
ReplyDeleteMichele!!! These are fabulous. Love it! Your images in the postage card are just so neat and your ice skaters are terrific, much more talented than I could ever hope to be. Thank you for sharing these delights!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that those images fit into the postage collage, Michele. They are so cute. Speaking of cute, those skaters are darling in their skating skirts and winter hats. The colors are fabulous in both color ways.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you and that postage die... Just when you think you've done all you can... It's like infinity and beyond. And those skaters! Just like Rockefeller Center in December!!! So, so adorable, Michele. So much ctueness! Great color choices, as usual.
ReplyDeleteOh looks like Rockefeller Center - adorable! And another big hit for the postage stamps - soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, You sure have made a scene alright Michele, very good scenes! LOL I love the snowmen on the postage college die, this die is so fun and I am loving all the stencils and such that you have to go with. Way to fun, way to cute!! Then I go farther and see these adorable little skaters in the city having fun! They just don't get any cuter and I am loving the color combos for them as well. Fun city die too for the background. Very fun and very cute cards for Christmas! Hugs, Brenda
