To start this card I stamped the snow globe from the Baby's 1st Christmas Stamp Set onto a piece of Kraft colored cardstock in a slightly darker brown ink color. I then stamped the train and the extra box car to the back of the train along the bottom edge and then flipped the cardstock and repeated that along the top to create a fun little border to frame the snow globe. I then stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the snow globe to act as an anchor.
Once the stamping was completed I then took some plain old inexpensive Crayola Colored Pencils and started coloring the images. Yes, I did say Crayola Colored Pencils! You can get great results with them so don't be afraid to use what you have. Once all the coloring was completed I then masked off the Snow Globe and sentiment with a simple mask made from Post It Notes and placed the Triangle Mosaic Stencil over the top. Next I took some White Pigment Ink and a CottonTail Blending Brush (that is designated for White Pigment Ink only) and added the ink over the top of the stencil. I made sure to not go over the trains at the top and bottom with the white pigment ink.
Once the White Pigment Ink dried I then added a thin layer of Diamond Glaze over the snow globe's glass and the little heart. When that dried I cut down the panel a little bit and added it to a light blue cardstock mat layer and then to my white card base. And that my crafty friends finishes my card for today using the Baby's 1st Christmas Stamp Set. Thanks for dropping by today and I hope that you have a wonderful crafty day!
