Ellie Loves to Ski

Hi, Madge here for another Wonderful Wednesday.  This week the thermometer has climbed and I’m not feeling like such a bear.  In fact, I’ve chosen a stamp from YNS (Your Next Stamp) featuring Ellie Loves to Ski.


I started by stamping the image onto Copic Xpress Blend it cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with copics, and cut it into an oval to fit over the Spellbinders largest Lacey Oval die. The DP’s are from Bo Bunny “Gift of Love” collection. I used SU cardstock to layer the card and for a card base.

The trees are from a previous project. They were embossed with white on white, then I added 3 tones of green copics.  I dabbed on white Embossing Paste and sprinkled it with Glitter Ritz Cool Tone while it was still wet.

For the metallic looking goggles, I used a very favorite Sakura Stardust Pen – they don’t dry out and last forever.  (No need to buy different colors – as the sparkle turns any color to sparkle……They are the Greatest!!

So that is it for another Wednesday – hope everyone is well and taking time to do a little stamping.  On Friday, stay tuned for a joint Blog Hop with our friends from Whimsy Stamps and our OCS Design Team.  It should be lots of fun . . . . . and it will showcase the Whimsy January 2012 New Releases.  Be sure to join in on the fun!
