Today I am sharing my project for the October #not2shabbydigichallenge
October's challenge is to use a Not 2 Shabby Digital Stamp on a Slimline card. With digital stamps you can make them any size you like. So I thought it would be fun to print out this image so that it would nearly cover the front panel of a slimline card. The image I chose is the Pine Tree. A gorgeous, fluffy tree. Great for winter, Christmas or woodland scenes.
I just LOVE how this card turned out. I so enjoyed coloring in this image.
You can see the making of this card in the video below. If you can not see the video on this screen you can also view it right here.
If you think you don't have the right equipment for Digital stamps, you actually might. I use a HP Envy 7645 printer. I print out on light weight "cheap" cardstock that I bought in a ream at Walmart. I color in my digital images with my Copic Markers and have never had an issue.
For this tree I use G02, G16 and G19 Copic Markers. I layered them up and repeatedly went back and forth between these three green markers to fill in this tree and get the look I wanted.
After coloring the tree itself I used my Cool Gray Copics (C4, C2, C0 and C00) to create a shadow around the tree. When it was all colored I die cut the portion I wanted for my card using a stitched slimline rectangle die from Trinity Stamps. This created a panel that measures 8-1/2" x 3-1/2".
Then I set about adding snow to my tree. First I used a bit of white acrylic paint, thinned out with a bit of water, and splattered that over the entire scene. It give the tree some snow definition I use Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff. It puffs up when you heat it, perfect for snow!!!
The stunning die cut "Merry Christmas" is from a new die set, Scripty Christmas by Trinity Stamps. After my die cut sentiment was mounted to my card, I adhered this panel to a white card base that measures 8-3/4" x 7-1/2", scored at 3-3/4". This fits in the business size envelops I purchased at the Dollar Tree very well.
I would LOVE for you to play along with out challenge. Just created a Slimline card using a digital stamp, in anyway you like. Then post your card to social media and use the hashtag #not2shabbydigichallenge. Then we can all connect with each other and see what we have made. Stay tuned because for the November challenge we will be having a GIVEAWAY with this challenge!
