I used the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Adventure stamp set to create fun winter themed card for the Happy Stampers blog hop.  We’ve got a color challenge this week and here is the card that I created for it.

Here are the colors that we’re using this week (I cheated just a little and adde a blue sky and a yellow light in the window…don’t tell!):

I started by stamping the line images from the Mountain Adventure photopolymer stamp set in Basic Gray Archival ink on a panel of watercolor paper.  I used Soft Sky and Crumb Cake inks with an Aqua Painter to add a little color to the sky and mountains.

I used my Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Garden Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Write Markers to color the little house and then let the panel dry completely.  I stamped the evergreen trees from the Mountain Adventure stamp set in Garden Green ink around the house and then placed Post-It Notes to mask along the snow line and stamped the trees over the mountain area.

I inked the sentiment from the Mountain Adventure stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green inks and stamped it on the watercolor panel.  To get the two-color sentiment, I placed Post-It Notes to mask off the line images on the stamp and then inked it with Cherry Cobbler ink.  I removed the Post-It Notes and carefully inked the lines with Garden Green ink.

I applied Clear Wink of Stella over the snow areas on the watercolor paper and then adhered the panel to a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock with Fast Fuse Adhesive.  I adhered the layered panel to a Garden Green card base and added a Garden Green enamel heart from the Regals Enamel Shapes pack to finish it.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mountain Adventure stamp set in Garden Green ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.  I used the fine-tip of my Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Markers to color the mittens.  The fine-tip minimizes blending and smearing.  🙂
