Merry Christmas Raccoon

Hi there,

I created this cute Raccoon Christmas Card for the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog:

• color the Gerda Steiner Designs Raccoon with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• cut out a stitched rectangle from watercolor paper and a hill shape from watercolor paper as well
• add Nuvo Glitter Gloss to the hill shape
• add color to the background with Distress Ink (Chipped Sapphire, Victorian Velvet, Stormy Sky) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• cut out snowflakes from the background using a die from the Tim Holtz Winter Wonderland set
• add some splatters with watered-down white acrylic paint for even more snowflakes
• layer a piece of white glitter paper behind the watercolor panel
• stamp the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Say What Christmas Critters set with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves
• run a piece of kraft cardstock through your Big Shot inside the Tim Holtz Lumber embossing folder
• adhere all the layers to an off-white cardbase

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
