Winter Hugs

Hello, everyone!  I recently won some stamps from Paperbabe Stamps, and this cutie called Arctic Jumper was one of them (thank you, Kim!).  My card was inspired by Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2018, Ultra Violet, which happens to be the challenge at Paperbabe Stamps.


Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps Arctic Jumper
Paper:  Patterned paper (Doodlebug Polar Pals)
Ink: Ranger Archival (Violet, Magestic Violet), Distress Oxide (Wilted Violet, Broken China), Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:  Die (My Creative Time Scalloped Stitched Oval), ribbon (Crafty Ribbons Seam Binding - thank you, Ali!), snowflake sequins, Posca white paint marker

Here's how to make my card:

  • Stamp image in violet and sentiment in black (my violet inkpads were a bit dry so I ended up using three violets)
  • Fussy-cut image
  • Mask off sweater and sponge with Distress Oxide
  • Use markers to add pink to cheeks and ears, and white dots to sweater
  • Adhere image to scalloped oval and layer onto patterned paper, and then adhere to A2 card base
  • Embellish with ribbon and snowflake sequins


I would like to support the following challenges:
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas 370 Optional No Sentiment UE
Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper January UE
Fashionable Stamping Anything Goes No Digis 2/3
heARTful Stamping Anything Goes plus Stamp 2/2
