Mountain of Joy in Rainbow Brights

Hello friends! One of my favorite add-ons from the November My Monthly Hero Release is the adorable Mountain of Joy stamp set. Everything from the packages to the mouse, snowflakes, and greeting on this design come from this amazing stamp set!

To start my card, I first trimmed a panel of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the Mountain of Joy image off both the left and right sides of the design with Inkon3 Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink. Stamping the package twice off the edges not only gives the illusion of more packages but fills in the entire space beautifully!

The mouse from Mountain of Joy was stamped to appear to be standing on one of the packages as shown.

The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in the following colors:

Pinks: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink

Orange/Yellow: Bright Yellow, Yellow

Greens: Light Green, Yellow Green

Teal: Turquoise Green, Green Shadow

Purples: Light Violet, Blender

Mouse: Platinum Brown, Gray Tint

A greeting from the Mountain of Joy stamp set was stamped along the top of the card with black ink.

Snowflakes from the stamp set were stamped with Hero Hues Taffy, Lemon Drop, Key Lime Fizz, Pool Party, and Thistle Reactive Inks.

The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base with foam adhesive to finish the design.

I hope this has inspired you to create your own rainbow bright holiday cards this season. Happy Holidays!

I appreciated the use of the reactive inks to achieve the rainbow of colors even in the snowflakes. Great card and could also be used for a birthday card especially for those whose birthday is in December. I love it and thanks for the inspiration.

IRENE PAGE,

Love your pretty card! Thanks for sharing.
