Instructions

To start off I stamped the images from the Aussie Christmas stamp set on white cardstock using Gina K Amalgam Black ink, coloured with my Altenew Artist Markers and fussy cut.

On a white card base, I wanted to create a ‘desert-like’ scene with sand and blue sunny skies. So I blended Waffle Flower ‘Coffee Loves Milk’ ink on the bottom half of the card front and Distress Ink ‘Salty Ocean’ in the top.

I started gluing the images into place and also added more details by stamping some bushes in the same ‘desert’ ink and some footprints in Versafine Onyx ink.

Using Gina K Connect Glue, I glued the branch and stocking into place and popped the other Bilby on some foam tape. I felt it needed some sunshine, so blended Distress Ink ‘Squeezed Lemonade’ into the top corner. I then cut a sentiment strip and popped it on foam tape.
