Holiday Card Series 2016 - Joy to the World

Hey there!

Starting my Holiday Card Series 2016 with these cute little caroling critters from Avery Elle.

First I used my Misti tool to stamp all the characters on watercolor paper with waterproof black ink, colored them using a bunch of distress inks, and then die cut everything with my Big Shot using the coordinating dies.

To frame my little scene I used the largest die from the Avery Elle Postage stamp die set on some Lawn Fawn paper, and to add interest to the background I die cut a forest border and two hillside borders from Lawn Fawn.

I used distress inks to create the sky and then adhered my borders. I used regular adhesive and foam dots to glue my little characters in place.

Then I adhered the whole pannel on a white base. I stamped my sentiment and musical notes in black ink and glued some sequins to finish the card.
