Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). Thank you for stopping by the blog today! I'm pretty excited to share my card with you today, not because it's a fantastic card, but because I learned how to make shadows in a new way and I see so much potential for this technique. It truly is so easy to do.
I learned this technique from a video Lydia shared. You can check it out - HERE. Did I mention this is so easy! And fun!!!
I used four different Raisin Boat stamp sets to make my card. They are all on sale, as is everything in the SumMore Fun store, so don't delay... check out the great items available before they are gone. The store is closing the soon.
As per Lydia's directions, I first stamped the snowman (where I wanted him in my scene) and then also stamped a mask of him to use in creating the scene. He's from the Raisin Boat Believe in Christmas stamp set.After cutting out the mask, I covered him up and ten cut a mask of the snowy hillside, being sure to overlap it over the base of the snowman to keep him from "floating" in my scene.
I didn't have a background stamp so instead I used snowflake stamps (from three different Raisin Boat stamp sets - Dear Santa, Holiday Hang Ups, and Tangled Tinsel) to create the snowy sky.
I then removed the snow bank mask and using the backside of the snowman stamp I stamped his shadow onto my paper. Isn't that clever? Thanks to Lydia... of course I would have never thought to do that without her "how to" video.
I then used the reverse piece of the snowbank I cut and protected the sky while blending some blue ink to the edge of the snowbank.
After that I simply removed the snowman mask and colored him. I also added a little blending of ink to the edge of the sky. I added three snowflake brads and then assembled the card.
This is such an easy technique to do. I would highly recommend it.
Thanks again for stopping by the blog.
I hope you have SumMore Fun today!
