Heffy Doodle Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAY!)

26 Oct

Good morning!  I’m excited to be a stop on the Heffy Doodle release hop! Lesley has created an adorable holiday and critter release and I decided to kinda combine the two categories today to create a prehistoric holiday card! 😉

I just LOVE that little woolly mammoth from Prehistoric Pals!  Isn’t he cute?!  To start I stamped him on my card with intense black ink and masked him off with a post-it note.  Then I placed the First Snow stencil over the panel and used the life-changing blender brushes to blend a soft pastel sky using spun sugar, shaded lilac, and blueprint sketch distress ink.  I’ve gotta say…I did not want to like those brushes (I never particularly cared for the other blending brushes that were popular awhile ago) and I just figured they couldn’t do anything that my blending tools couldn’t do but I was WRONG!  If you’re wanting to do more soft blends I can’t recommend them enough! 😉 Anyway, once I was done blending I applied a thin layer of moonstone nuvo glimmer paste over the stencil.  I peeled up the stencil and let the paste dry.

Once the panel was dry I colored my woolly mammoth with copic markers and added a few accents with a white gel pen.  Then I added a few accents to create snow on my background panel using cool grey copic markers.  I added a little crystal glaze and then sprinkled the glaze with chunky and prisma glitter to create sparkly snowbanks.  I stamped the sentiment from Whatcha Saying Now onto black cardstock with versamark, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, and popped it up with a little foam mounting tape.  Finally I added a few snowflake sequins to finish the card!

Lesley is giving away a $50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle shop to one lucky commenter!  Comment on all the hop stops before November 1st, 2018 for the most chances to win!  Winners will be announced on the Heffy Doodle blog on November 1st!  You should have arrived from Mona’s blog and Gemma is your next stop!  And don’t forgot to stop by the Heffy Doodle blog for details on Lesley’s sale and free with purchase items!

If you’ve gotten all the way to the end of my super long post, thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the hop!  If this is your first time at my blog I hope you’ll consider subscribing via the sidebar on the right or visiting me on Youtube or Instagram!  Have a fabulous crafty week, friends! 🙂
