This card all started with the desire to do some no line coloring with the Winter Friends stamp set. And wanting to pull out the Slimline Scallop Peekaboo die set I have had for a little bit from Whimsy Stamps and play with it too.
That resulted in a Slimline Peekaboo shaker card with the Winter Friends. And they are so cute colored with no line coloring. You can see it all come together in this video.
If you can not see the video on this screen you can also view it right here.
The Slimline Scallop Peekaboo die set has two flaps that open to reveal whatever scene or sentiment or gift card you want to put in there, so many possibilities.
For the outside of the card I put my sentiments, using the Merry Christmas Senti-mini Die set and stamp set.
I added trees and snow to the background using the Winter Sentiments stamp set from Not 2 Shabby. This is a stamp set you can purchase or get for free with a $60 purchase at the Not 2 Shabby shop. You can also get the Winter Friends stamp set when your order reaches $100! Both are darling and work so good together!
I used the Winter Friends stamp set on the inside of the card.
I love that you open the flaps to this wintery scene. I think no line coloring is perfect for this scene because the trees from the Winter Sentiments stamp set are solid and stamped in green ink, they do not have a black outline. And with the no line colored images my critters do not have a black outline either. So they coordinate well with the trees and give the card an over all softer look that is great with a snowy scene.
Here you can see the bunny up close. I used Copic Markers to do my no-line coloring. I used two shades of pink and two shades of red for the bunny's winter clothing. For the bunny itself I used three shades of warm gray; W4, W2 and W0. Then I added some highlights with a white gel pen. I needed a bit more detail on his eyes, so I used a mechanical pencil to draw in the eyelids and lashes. It was the perfect touch.
I colored the fox with E19, E15 and E13 Copic Markers. And the same warm gray markers for the white areas. I used YR17, YR13 and YR11 for his hat and scarf. Again, I used a white gel pen for highlight, which I feel really brings these images to life. You can see how well the no lined color image goes with the solid tree images and snowflakes.
What do you think about those amazing shaker elements? These are the Charleston Sequin Mix by Catherine Pooler, and were the inspiration for the colors I chose for this card. Honestly this color combination has been one of my favorites this holiday season.
