MFT September 2021 Release: Lantern Night Scene Christmas Carols

 Hello Crafters! 

It's been quite a while since I posted mostly because between working full time and running businesses some corners had to be cut. I'm still very active on Youtube and Instagram so I hope you'll follow me there. 

If you've been desperately missing my blog posts please leave me a comment and let me know. If there's enough interest I'll try to make it more of a priority in the future :) 

Today I'm here to share a card using the new My Favorite Things Release and I'm super excited about it! The entire release is adorable and you can check it out here. 

I chose to use the new SY Christmas Carols to do a little scene building. Ya'll know how I do. I couldn't leave any of these cuties out so my card got a full choir!

I created the background using distress inks because it saves a ton of copic ink and it gives a beautiful blend. Be careful to leave youtself a little halo of white in between your yellow light and blue night or you'll end up with green in your sky. I added some heat embossed snowflakes in white along with some perfect pearls and white paint splatters to create stars. 

I stamped the ground not once but twice. the second time I used second generation stamping to give a lighter impression. I then added some dimension with my copic markers. this allowed me to fade off the stones towards the front of the card. 

I stamped and colored all my cute critters with copic markers before cutting them out with their coordinating dies. I adhered them to my card using various levels of glue and foam tape. In order to blend them into the scene more I colored my white outline from the dies to blend in with the night scene. 

Check out the video below to watch it all come together! 

Thanks for stopping by!
