Hello!
I'm over on the Bellarific blog with another Christmas card for this week's Scenic Saturday post. I have always had a soft spot for the sweet little Bundle Girls and as soon as I saw this Bundle Girl Sending a Letter to Santa it was love at first sight.
The Bundle Girl Sending a Letter to Santa image finds this cozy cutie at the mailbox sending a letter to Santa up at the North Pole. Perched atop the mailbox is a curious cardinal taking in the scene. While this stamp is nice and large and can certainly tell the story all on its own, I thought it would be fun to pair Bundle Girl Sending a Letter to Santa with the older Winter Woodland Backdrop. After masking the mailbox and Bundle Girl I positioned the backdrop at the top of the card front. Before stamping it I wiped the ink off of the path running through the center of the scene, leaving an open snowy field in that space instead. The snowy scenery is pretty quick to color and creates a light and rather neutral backdrop so that the festive reds and greens of Bundle Girl's winter wear really stand out. I also added some ric rac trim to her coat to mimic the ric rac die that I used to frame the scene. Once again I found a great sentiment in the Be Merry Sentiment set and I stamped it right in the center of the snowy landscape. I'm really happy with how these stamps came together into a sweet Christmas story. :)
Stay crafty my friends!
