Stamptember with SugarPea Designs

Today, Simon Says Stamp is collaborating with SugarPea Designs by introducing Nordic Village and coordinating dies.  There are so many possibilities with this set!  I chose to create a bright, snowy little village in hopes for a bright and happy winter to come:

The background was ink blended with Distress Inks and splattered with white acrylic paint.  The village houses were stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed in white.  Once they were die cut and assembled together, I used Zig Markers to color them in, and then lightly splattered over them with the same Zig colors.  Once they were dry, I colored the trees with a BG72 Copic Marker.  The sentiment is from the same set, stamped in Distress Ink Picked Raspberry.  A white panel and the ink blended panel were die cut with Zig Zag Stitched rectangles.  The snowy hill was created with a die from the Card Front Element Builder, and then cut with the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle.

SugarPea Designs/SSS Supplies:
Nordic Village and Coordinating Dies, Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles, Card Front Element Builder
Other Supplies:
Ink:  Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, VersaMark

  4. For some reason when I look at this fantastic village I hear yodeling by men in suspenders and short pants. It looks so authentic and charming that I want to go there and spend my holidays. Great scene, Kara.
