Joy to the World Christmas Card

Ok so I promised a second Christmas card.  So here it is.  I used Impression Obsession's Peace on Earth set.  I really like the stamp set, but must say I was disappointed with the set itself because no matter what I did it would not stamp a decent image with Stazon or another archival ink I had here at home.  Although this problem made it hard to color the image as a result, it didn't turn out all that  bad.  I used my Prismas to color it in but couldn't blend the pencils as well as I would have liked since the Gamsol made the ink run.  I found the only ink I could use on the mouse stamp with any satifaction was CTMH's basic black.

  Here is the recipe

• Very Vanilla
• Always Artichoke
• Bravo Burgundy
• Melissa Francis "Holly"
• CTMH Basic Black Ink
• SU Always Artichoke Ink

I really do love this little guy and I love that the ornament is a globe of the world. I stamped a bit of a christmas tree with the pine needles from SU Pines set.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Check back on Monday for a wonderful Christmas present to make in these hard economic times.

Enjoy!

the card is just adorable. Sorry you're having a problem with the black ink. I hate when that happens. Have you tried the Brillance or Momento Black? Both are great if using prismas or copics!
