Welcome! This morning I have a Christmas card to share using a lovely new Power Poppy digital stamp set, Partridge in a Pear Tree.
There are a couple of sentiments, as well as an image version without the writing on the teapot, for added versatility.
Here is my card inside--one of the sentiments from the digital set, as well as the same image from the card front, printed lightly.
I used a LOT of Copic markers to color this image. Pull up a chair, and I'll list them all! I used the R22/R24/R29 combo for the little tree ornaments, the YG00/YG21/YG03/YG17 combo for the leaves on the tree, the Y21/Y35/YG63/G82/Y28 combo for the pears, the B41 for the sky, and the warm and cool grays for most of the partridge. I used the YR12/R24 for the bird's bill and the YR01/YR12 for the birds head. The E21/E23/E44/E47 Copics were used for the branches, and the warm grays for the teapot. I think that's about it. . . Yes, QUITE the list!
I used MFT Die-namics Blueprints 13 for the card front and the sentiment panel inside as well as the banner panel for the focal image. I used the same banner die for both the mat layer and the focal image layer, but I then trimmed about 1/16" off of both sides of the focal image layer, then trimmed the top a bit more than that, to make it fit onto the red mat layer. Hey, it works! ;-) The only jingle bells that I had were rusty ones or silver ones, neither of which would work with my card. So I rolled the rusty one on my oldest Versamark pad, and then I dipped it into gold embossing powder and heat embossed it--presto, a gold bell!
Several other designers have made projects using the Power Poppy Partridge in a Pear Tree stamp set; you can check the Power Poppy Blog for a full list of posts, but the ones that I know have a card ready for today are:
Cheryl Scrivens and Broni Holcombe. Enjoy!
