I used the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Adventure stamp set to create a fun winter themed holiday card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by The Paper Players PP323.

The colors for my card were inspired by Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 386.

And the masculine theme for my card was inspired by Merry Monday #224.

I started by adhering a panel of Presents & Pinecones DSP to a panel of Basic Gray card stock with SNAIL and then to a Mint Macaron card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the ski and snowboard stamps from the Mountain Adventure photopolymer stamp set slightly staggered on the same block and I stamped them in Soft Suede ink across a Soft Suede card stock panel.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Early Espresso card stock and then to the card front with SNAIL.  I punched the end of a strip of Basic Gray card stock with the Banner Triple Punch and adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mountain Adventure stamp set in Basic Gray Archival ink on a panel of Watercolor Paper.  I cut the sentment out with a Layering Oval Framelits Die and then applied a light watercolor wash with my Aqua Painter and Mint Macron ink over it.  I let the image dry completely and then colored the mittens with my Mint Macaron and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers.  I adhered the sentiment panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I covered the lines on the top and bottom of the sentiment stamp from the Mountain Adventure stamp set with Post-It Notes and inked the stamp with Soft Suede ink.  I pulled off the Post-It Notes and stamped the sentiment on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the ski and snowboard images in Mint Macaron across the bottom of the panel to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.
