Mimi Mini Card
Penny Black's 'Mimi's Christmas' is a fun set of clear stamps that can be used to make a fantastic variety of cards. We have used it to make a whole set of cards to give you some Christmas ideas. You can see the others at the bottom of this project.
This simple but appealing card would be ideal for a thank you card or for children's Christmas cards as they can have great fun colouring them in themselves!
Materials
- Penny Black 'Mimi's Christmas' clear stamp set
- Memento large ink pad, Tuxedo Black
- ProMarker pens in your choice of colours (to colour the image)
- Diamond glitter glue
- White A7 card blank
We also used a heat gun.
Instructions
1. Stamp the image centrally onto the card blank and heat set with a heat gun (this prevents the ink from smudging when colouring in with ProMarkers). If you'd rather colour in with water-based pens, it's better to use a StazOn black ink pad which is waterproof and will not smudge.
2. Colour in the image using ProMarker pens. You can achieve different shades and more vibrant colours by letting one layer dry then colouring in again.
3. Use the diamond glitter glue to add a sparkle to your image! We put some on the fur, bobble and berries on the hat, the ground and on her wings. And there you have it!
