I made this clean and simple Christmas card with some new stamps from the latest Penny Black release called Wishing You Joy - Christmas Round 2. This sweet boy with his teddy is from the new stamp set Beary Good and besides Christmas cards, I think he'd be amazing for some winter birthday cards.
I usually use black Memento ink for my stamping when colouring with Copics but this time I decided to try something else. I used dark grey Memento ink and I think it gave a nice soft look to my stamping. I did the colouring with Copics before die cutting the image with its matching die, Beary Good Cut Out. For the background I used a stencil from the stencil set Background Basics. I used tape to adhere the stencil to my cardstock and then I used masking paper to mask off the bottom part of the card to create a snow like look. I ink blended the background using Distress Oxide inks in Broken China and Frayed Burlap before removing the stencil. I stamped the greenery with stamps from the sets Season's Marvel (the fir tree) and Nature's Gifts (the branches). The sentiment I used is from the sentiment set Feeling of Christmas. Before adhering the stamped image to my linen textured card base with some foam adhesives, I splattered the panel with both water and acrylic paint to create falling snow.

I love the texture of your card base with the inkings of trees and sentiment over it and lovely soft snowfall, Milla. Beautiful coloring on you little boy with his sled enjoying the snowy day! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Seasonal! Julia xx
