I decided to check on the Splitcoaststampers Technique Challenge this morning and see if I could use it for today's card. The challenge is Assembly Line Stamping. Nothing could be more perfect for me today because I have mailed out all my Christmas cards and have started receiving some from new people who were not on last year's Christmas card list. I need a bunch in a hurry!
Although I am a pretty fast stamper, it usually takes me about 45 minutes to create a Let's Make a Scene design. Using the Assembly Line Method, I was able to stamp 5 cards in an hour which is just how many I want to send out today!! Win-win!!
I am entering this card in the following challenge this week:
Splitcoaststampers Technique Challenge 720
Cards of Envy (flat cards only) The Spirit of Christmas
Incy Wincy Designs: Create Your Own Background
Kitchen Sink Stamps images used came from the following sets:
Cabin by the Lake Multi Step Clear Stamps (smoke from chimney)
Color Recipes
Pine Trees
Layer 3 Stampin' Up Forest Foliage
Layer 2 PTI Ocean Tides
Layer 1 Stampin' Up Granny Apple Green
Log Cabin
Layer 3 Stampin' Up Soft Suede on the logs and Creamy Caramel on the stones
Layer 2 Stampin' Up Baked Brown Sugar
Layer 1 PTI Fine Linen
Cabin Roof
Memento Summer Sky all layers
Moon
Layer 3 Stampin' Up Pineapple Punch
Layer 2 Stampin' Up Barely Banana
I did not stamp layer one but make a mask of it to brush on the sky.
I used the following Distress Oxide Inks by Tim Holtz for the sky:
Squeezed Lemonade
Blueprint Sketch
Black Soot
The door wreath is Distress Oxide Lucky Clover
The berries on the wreath are Distress Oxide Candied Apple
The smoke from the chimney is Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.
The snow line was inked with Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass.
Santa and his reindeer as well as the sentiment were stamped
with Versafine Onyx Black.
Here are a few pictures of the process. I hope they are helpful.
I stamped the moon and trees first.
I then masked the moon and brushed on the sky. That was followed by stamping the stars, Santa, and sentiment.
Lastly I stamped the log cabins on separate panels and cut them out to mount on the cards.
Maria and Jeanne also have new creations to share:

Oh, Lynn, seeing the closeup of the scene gives me a greater appreciation of this beautiful winter scene card than I can get on SCS. The sky is so gorgeous as is the log cabin and trees. I love that you shared the process of making the card with photos. Your cards cards are awesome, my friend!
ReplyDeleteNice job on creating a bunch of cards using the same supplies and techniques. I love your sky background! At first, I thought the log cabin was stamped on your card panel and was masked off for the background. DIdn't see that it was fussy cut then adhered to the panel. That was really cool! Thank you for sharing your creation with us @ Incy Wincy Designs Create Your Own Background challenge. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! This is just beautiful. The scene you created is magical!! Thanks for joining us at Cards in Envy.

Wow wow wow Lynn!! You've been so busy making all of these cards!! I absolutely LOVE your design and such a stunning scene you've made with Santa flying above!! Really brilliant and perfect one to mail out!! Thanks for sharing! HUGS
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you can crank out a set of cards with all of these details so fast. I wasn't prepared this year at all for what has gone down... I haven't sent out any cards this year.. I've made enough during Beccy's month long challenge but don't have the time to get them out. Life got in the way. Spending all of my time near hubby. Love your scene and the glow of the moon
