Christmas Cuties

 The other day I watched a video of a stencilled sky being made over on Clearly Besotted's Facebook page (have you seen their colouring videos? They are really inspiring!) and had to have a go. 




I stamped and masked Santa, then the elf and tree, then the skyline, all using Clearly Besotted stamps that came with Creative Stamping magazine a couple of years ago. Once everything was masked, I used a cloud stencil and distress inks to create the sky, blending the inks over the stencil and repositioning it between colours. 

I removed  the masked skyline and stamped the trees,  then removed all the rest of the masking, stamped the sentiment and coloured the images. I dotted in snowflakes, some with a white gel pen and some with Stickles, and added stickles to the white areas of the image and to the line where the image touches the snow. 

I am sharing this with
