Season's Greetings

I'm just about ready to wrap up my holiday themed cardmaking for the year!  This one was designed with the current Lawnscaping challenge in mind.

I made a simple scene using Lawn Fawn's Winter in the Park set.  I've had this set for a while, but I've struggled with using it.  Picking up the matching dies helped a little bit, but I did have to play around for a while before coming up with this design.  I used some shimmery white cardstock and a piece of pale aqua grid patterned paper for the background.  The bench and streetlight were stamped with gray pigment ink, then cut with the matching dies.  I used more shimmery white cardstock for the snow that sits on top of the bench, then added the bench to the scene using foam tape.  I wanted the streetlight to have a glow-y look, so I colored the lights with a yellow marker, then colored a circle of vellum with the same yellow marker.  After adhering the colored circle to the background, I used foam tape to add the lights on top.  Seems to work . . .

For a pop of color, I wrapped the panel with a length of red seam binding and secured it by tying a bow.  The "season's greetings" sentiment was stamped beneath the ribbon in red pigment ink.  I adhered the finished panel to a coordinating pale aqua card base.

I'll be back tomorrow to share the holiday card I made to send out to family and friends . . .
