Cozy Christmas - KSS Let's Make a Scene

Who would have thought that this south Texas girl would wake up on Friday morning and look out her window to see the ground and trees covered with snow? It has been 13 years since we have seen snow in my neck of the woods so, of course, it was the inspiration for this week's Let's Make a Scene design sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps.

To create this scene I used images from the following KSS sets:

Basket Multi Step Clear Stamps

Holly & Mistletoe Multi Step Clear Stamps

Snowy Pine Trees Multi Step Clear Stamps

 Winter Cardinals Multi Step Clear Stamps

Build a Garland Multi Step Clear Stamps

The die cut window is from Poppy Stamps and the lacey punch is by Martha Stewart.

KSS - Let's Make a Scene - Kittens and Carnations

It's time again for another Let's Make a Scene design sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps. Today I decided to have a little fun with these cute kittens and place them in a grassy lawn with a basket of carnations in front of a lattice wall.

To create this scene, I stamped the kittens first and then masked them to add the basket. I then masked the basket as well and laid the lattice stencil over the card front and brushed in the green grass and blue sky with my Clarity brushes using distress ink. Once I removed the lattice stencil but not the masks, I added the carnations and the grassy foreground. After removing the kitten and basket masks, I added a few more blades of grass to create a smooth transition. The sentiment was stamped last of all.

Kitchen Sink Stamps used to create this scene:

Kittens & Pup Multi Step Clear Stamps

Basket Multi Step Clear Stamps

Get Well Teddy Multi Step Clear Stamps

Honey Bunny Multi Step Clear Stamps

Make a Big Statement Clear Stamps
