Creative Stamping with Lori: AWOW Blog Hop

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Each month, a group of demonstrators from all over the world create projects based on that month's theme. You will be able to hop around below to see all the wonderful inspiration!

This month, the theme is a Sketch Challenge!

I chose to use the adorable Christmas Friends Bundle for my card! I also used Peaceful Evergreens for the trees stamped in the background.

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and added a Pool Party layer which was embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. The other layers were created with Night of Navy Cardstock and the Subtles and Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper in Pool Party and Night of Navy.

The cute skating moose was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White and coloured with Stampin' Blends in Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Azure Afternoon, Pool Party and Smoky Slate.

The circle was die cut with the circle in the Christmas Friends Dies. The ice was created by ink dragging Pool Party and Balmy Blue Ink Pads across the bottom of the circle. I then masked off the land area with a Post-It Note and added Night of Navy Ink with a Blending Brush. I added a little Azure Afternoon with a Blending Brush for the sky and stamped the trees in Night of Navy. I added some Wink of Stella to the ice and the skate blades.

I wrapped Night of Navy from the Natural Tones Linen Thread around the middle layer and added a double bow with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy.
