Hi folks, Elaine from Quixotic Paperie here!
I’m excited to be joining in with Kristy’s blog party again this year, with so many talented people. I’m definitely a fan of Some Odd Girl stamps, so it’s always a pleasure to get to work with them.
Today I’ve got a little step by step for you, featuring one of the recently released clear stamp sets – Winter Friends. When I saw this set I knew I wanted to create a little scene with the adorable penguins and polar bear cub. Creating stamped scenes is one of my favourite things to do, and I love to experiment with different ways of building a scene and colouring the background.
I decided to try and create the impression of the northern lights in my winter scene with our Arctic friends, so my step by step focuses on showing how I built up the sky colouring.
Here goes! I hope you enjoy the step by step and perhaps find it useful.

And here it is on a finished card!
I hope this inspires you to try this and try something new!

Amy O says:
I learned the hard way to cut the image out before coloring – after completely coloring an image, I stuck it in my Silhouette to cut, but the print and cut was off somehow. I saw it was about to cut through my image, so I yanked the paper backward in complete panic! After I canceled things properly I found out I had broken the blade – glad I didn’t do any worse damage! I did save the image, though! It was a close call. Phew!
