A Silhouette, an Animal, and Velocity

Combining a few challenges with this card!

ABC Christmas Challenge "V is for Velocity"

Double D Challenge "Silhouettes"

Jingle Belles "Rudolph and Friends"  (any animal)

Double D Challenge has a mood board to inspire us:



I was inspired by the sleigh but went with a horse drawn sleigh silhouette instead.  And I think horses could be friends with Rudolph for the Jingle Belles challenge!

The background is made with the embossing folder stamping technique - inking up one side of the embossing folder, spritzing a little, and then stamping it onto either watercolour paper or mixed media cs. I used various shades of blue mini Distress inks - it's easier to get more colour variation with the mini inks.

Then stamped and heat embossed the image and sentiment. To add snow to the ground, I rubbed my Versamark pad along the bottom edge and heat embossed with a sparkly white embossing powder. Some of the powder got onto the horses and sleigh but I left it there when heating as it gives a sense of powdery snow blowing up from the ground onto them as the horses move through it - the "velocity" for the ABC Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!
