For this Oldie but goodie I've also combined the Everyday Christmas with a Penny Black wood mounted stamp called Xmas Crafts and it's from 2003.
But I found it's still available on Ebay , well 2 of them ;-)
I stamped the image with Simon Says Stamp Intense black ink onto Crafter's Companion Neenah paper and had do use both sides of the paper this time as I rocked the stamp and it moved. Lucky for me paper has two sides ;-).
I thought it could look like the two critters are decorating the walls behind them with the snowflakes they're cutting out.
I used Memento summer sky for the inkblending. I used a brush as I found the inkblending foam kept getting caught in the sharp edges of the stencil, But the brush worked super.
I intentionally applied the color a bit random, so you get lighter and darker bits, also tried to do a light a coat as possible, so it would fade into the background.
I used Spectrum Noir and Illustrator markers to color the image.
Then adhered the panel to the cardbase with tape runner.

That stamp is really cute! And you coloring is wonderful. I also really like the subtle snowflake background. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!!
