Hello stampers!
This is my idea of the PERFECT winter scene!!! I really hope to be one of these old ladies one day - I truly do! I aspire to spend my old age sat on a beach drinking cocktails, gossiping happily with my girlfriends! We should all be so lucky.
This stamp just make me smile - I love it! Thank you Sheila for pointing it out to me.
I've stamped my ladies on Copix XPress It with Memento ink in tuxedo black. I've coloured with Copics (see colours below) and accented glasses & drinks with a glaze pen. I FINALLY unpacked my fabulous brand new Copic colours - hurray!!! LOVE!!
The card stock is an old orange-y colour from SU! and the paper is from the brand new My Mind's Eye Fiddlesticks. I found it just a little too bold to stamp the sentiment (which came with a Unity snowman), so I inked it up with Ranger acrylic paint dabber in snowcap - just along the bottom right. Then I stamped the sentiment with Versafine.
I distressed all the edges with my distress tool - then with some distress ink in Old Paper - and then rubbed some Stickles in Platinum along the top edges and corner.
The ladies have been punched out with a Spellbinder Nestability - and inked around the edges with distress ink in Old Paper. Then I rubbed some Distress Stickles in Rock Candy around the edges. I've used a Copper Viva Decor Pearl Pen to add a finishing touch.
I'll add this to the following challenges:
Happy Winter!
