No buddies like snow buddies

Hi crafting friends.

Today I'm sharing a make using my favourite MFT Christmas set called snow buddies.  This will be my first Christmas make, so I guess I had better get cracking to make the rest!  Look out for many more Christmas makes coming your way! 

Ingredients

• Stamps
• MFT snow buddies stamps
• ink blot shop cable knit background
• MFT - general BB sentiments
• spectrum noir triblend brush markers
• tattered lace dotted simple circle die
• distress oxide inks
• broken china
• Victorian velvet

A simple card today - I stamped the background panel using broken china ink and left is aside to dry, while I coloured my stamped images. I cut out the circle from white cardstock and trimmed one side down so it would look like it was popping off the side of the card. 

I cut them out using my scan and cut and positioned them onto the circle background to make a topped.  Some of the images are flat and some are popped up on foam pads.

I then cut a strip of blue glitter card and trimmed my back ground panel to me slightly smaller than the 5x7 card.  

I decided to balance the colour, I should do the sentiment in pink, so I stamped in Victorian velvet, but found it wasn't bold enough, so I coloured a scrap of white card with the distress oxide and then let it dry, before white heat embossing.  I stamped a snow flake too in the same colour ink for a tone on tone look. 

I hope you like it as much as I do - I really love the muted non traditional colours!
