Learning to Ice Skate

Here's another card I designed using stamps from Eat Cake Graphics.

The stamps I used are Lucy’s learning to skate, Tiny Tree with dots and Snow dots.
I colored with Spectrum Noir Markers:

• Skin - FS2, FS3, CR2
• Hair - GB1
• Red areas - CR8
• Scarf and Hat - BT1, BT3, BT4
• Pants, gloves - IG4, IG2
• Shading on skates and jacket - IG1

To make the "ice" for Lucy to skate on, I used a VersaMark marker and embossed with clear ep. I masked off the image and stamped the trees and snow dots with light grey ink. Some glitter accents under the trees and on snow dots give a nice sparkle finish.

Visit the Eat Cake Graphics Sprinkling of Samples Blog to see this and MANY MANY more great Christmas card ideas.

Happy Stamping!

I just LOVE these stamps from Eat Cake Graphics! And the little figure skater...HELLO!!! Perfect! The stamp is called Lucy's Learning to Skate. The sentiment is called Look a lot like Christmas. The font on this sentiment is so cute..and perfect for this image! Eat Cake Graphics has a bunch of other great sentiment and quote stamps! Go ahead...treat yourself...I did ;) Shop HERE.
