Punched a 1 3/4″ circle punch from a post it note and used it as a mask for the moon.   Put the mask on a 2.5″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.  Added a post it note mask that has a bit of the sticky edge torn off of it.

Brayered Baja Breeze ink at the top of the card stock.

Brayered Pacific Point ink at the top of the card stock.

Removed the masks and put them aside for another step.

Mask the top of the card stock and 1/2″ of the white snow with a post it note.  Brayered Baja Breeze ink at on the unmask area.

Removed the post it note mask and put the other 2 mask back on to create the reflection side.   Put the torn post it note 1/2″ below the white area and the moon mask on to make the reflection of the moon.  Brayered more Baja Breeze ink on.

Brayered Pacific Point at the top of the area.

Removed all of the masks.  Stamped the fox using Basic Black ink at the top of the card stock.   Stamped the fox using Basic Black ink on my Stamp-a-ma-jig plastic sheet (slick side).  Flipped the plastic sheet over and lined up the reflection of the fox.  Rolled my brayer over the plastic sheet to transfer the image.

Colored the Cajun Craze marker on the plastic sheet and used a blender pen dipped in the Cajun Craze to color the fox and his reflection in.

Remember to be lighter in color on the reflection side.

Added Cajun Craze marker directly to the image in the dark areas and then used the blender pen to blend the color in.

Added Old Olive marker to the top fox’s present and scarf.   Used the Blender Pen and color I scribbled on the plastic sheet to color in the reflection side.

Added More Mustard marker to the Fox’s scarf and the blender pen to color in the reflection side.

Added White Gel pen to make water lines in the bottom of the scene.  Also colored in the top fox’s belly where it has some blue from the sky showing through.

Punch 3 Stampin’ Up! snowflakes out of Whisper White.

Used the Northern Flurry embossing folder and Big Shot Machine to emboss my Baja Breeze panel.  I love to emboss a panel on my cards to give that texture without adding weight.

Here are the measurements for the panels.  🙂

Sponged Pacific Point ink around the edges of the Baja Breeze Panel.

Assembled the card front slipping one of the snowflakes under the Whisper White panel.   Added Rhinestones to the center of each snowflake.

It’s hard to see in this photo, but I added Dazzling Details to the top half of the snow.  Love the way this sparkles.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May you be warm

Until my next post. . . . .
