Skiing By

I made up these cards several months ago, and actually stamped the images several years ago!!  But today I finally added the sentiments and a little glitter to finish them off.

This is the Skiing By set from Pinkfresh Studio.  I think it's long retired by them, but it will be a favourite of mine for years to come.

I decided to try some off-beat colour combos!  I ink blended several Distress Oxide inks on the sky and mountains, and coloured the critters with Copic markers.

I just adore the little trees that are included with the set - kind of a retro vibe to everything.  I added a few ink splatters with Distress Spritz, and some chunky glitter for some shine.

The sentiments are Foilables from Pink & Main, silver on the purple card, and gold on the warm toned one.

Skiing By!

 I was lucky enough to get some Happy Mail this week from my lovely niece... gifting me this sweet stamp and die set from Pinkfresh Studio, called Skiing By!  I used a card by Nicky Meek that I found on Pinterest as my design idea, with my own spin on it:

There is minimal colouring required on the critters (so cute!) and they cut out so perfectly with the dies.  The set even includes the mountain and hillside dies, so other than my Copics, some ink blending on the sky and a little glitter - it came with everything I needed.

This will work perfectly for a holiday card for some of my friends that don't celebrate Christmas.  Cute and wintry.  I am entering this into the Pinkfresh Studio October challenge, using just the colours this month!
