Voila, another Christmas card

Here is the last card that I've got so far using the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. This time I've coupled it with the skaters from Winter Post. I found this card on Splitcoast and figured how hard could it be. There are no layers on this card but that doesn't make it any simpler. I had to make a little skater mask so I could stamp the trees in the background and I'm not the most patient person to do the careful cutting for a mask . My husband thinks I should make a little skating pond for them to be on to ground the image, he thinks they look like they are floating. I think they look fine but maybe I'll humour him next time.

For the images I used Basic Black and for the sponging I used Baja Breeze and Night of Navy for the sky and Bordering Blue for the ground. I coloured the skaters in with pastels and a blender pen (love all the soft look with this technique). I added a bit of texture to the bottom of the card by tearing it (hard to see in the picture) and finished it off with a Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon and voila, another winter themed christmas card.
