Sally CT - Another Christmas card

Hi There! I am here with another step by step for this cute Christmas card. Here is how I made it.

I began by blending 3 colours of distress oxide ink across a 4" square of watercolour card. 

Next I sprayed Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz through the Circles 1 big ones inkable. 

When this was dry I stamped over the background using Distress oxide ink. 

On a scrap of card, I stamped the gingerbread man 3 times and coloured with a combination of oxide ink and coloured pencils, before cutting them out. 

I matted and layered the background to a 5x5" card and added the gingerbread men using foam pads.  

Finally I added the sentiment using Versafine Clair ink.

Here is the finished card again....

and you can see the sheen from the distress spritz here.

I used:

Distress Oxide inks in Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Fired Brick, Lumberjack Plaid and Tea Dye

Big ones Inkable - Circles 1

Distress Spritz - Fossilized Amber

Doodle Art Christmas Pud stamp set
