rainbow winter carolers!

hello and hope everyone is having a happy weekend!
today I have a rainbow themed christmas card up on the Lawn Fawn blog and guess what? I even made a video! you can check it out here or on my youtube channel!

so sweet and fun, right?!
I stamped and colored the images from Dad Jokes and Caroling Mice with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I used a white gel pen to add details. once everything dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut out the images.

for the background, I had a ton of fun!
I used the new Snowflakes Stencil with a rainbow of Distress Inks: Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Peacock Feathers.
then I kept the stencil in place and squished my embossing ink pad through the stencil to get the colors all covered.
then I removed the stencil and added clear embossing powder and heat set the snowflakes. once it was completely cooled off, I used Distress Inks in Black Soot, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon over the snowflakes to finish ink blending the sky! it's so fun!

I repeated that problem 3 times.
then I used the Give it a Whirl dies to die cut out from the backgrounds. I also die cut out a 2nd small circle from the die set.
I also die cut out the snowy border from white cardstock.

on the larger circle die cut, I added a lot of the images we colored for the scene! and I love that they are revealed when you literally 'give it a whirl!' LOL
I used most of the other images on the bottom of the card. and all of the layers of the card, have used the same emboss resist technique with the snowflakes!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white on top Black Licorice cardstock and then die cut out with the Fancy Wavy Banners.
I sure hope this card made you smile - and if you check out the video, I apologize in advance for the footage I lost, and the struggles I endured! lol! let's just say, I definitely demonstrated some 'stick with it ness' lol.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
enjoy!
