Hey Everyone!  As we get closer to halloween, I keep seeing more and more Christmas stuff out in the stores, and I am going to admit it…I’m not ready.  However, with halloween just around the corner, I will admit, that I am ready to move away from pumpkin spice and start focusing in on cool winters, so today I thought I would color up this fun winter scene featuring Elizabeth Craft Designs Winter Bear stamp set.

Step One:  Stamp out the images from the Winter Bear stamp set using copic friendly ink, masking where needed on some 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock trimmed to 5.5×4.25 inches.  I used most of the stamps in the set to create this scene.

Step Two:  Using a copic friendly pen, draw in three layers of snow banks to ground the scene.

Step Three:  Color the scene in with your alcohol markers.  I used my copics and filmed my coloring today for you to peek at.  For HD click here:

Step Four:  Die cut a piece of Ladybug Red Soft Finish Cardstock with the largest Dashing Rectangle die.  Adhere the colored scene to the die cut piece.

Step Five:  Trim a piece of Dusky Sky Soft Finish Cardstock to 12×6 inches and score and fold the paper to create a 6×6 inch card frame.  Adhere the die cut red cardstock to the card frame using 6mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step Six:  Stamp the sentiment onto the card frame.  I used a stamp from the Classic Christmas Sentiments stamp set.

Thanks for peeking in today at my winter scene.  Are you ready to be creating winter projects in full force?  I guess begrudgingly I am.  So I guess I am to say, happy winter crafting.
