I am having some fun with Leaping Lewis and the Frozen Skating Pond from High Hopes. I did some ice skating growing up but I don't remember practicing leaping in the air like the talented Lewis! If I were to be honest, I preferred roller skating to ice skating but Lewis is scoring a 12 with this jump and his Merry Christmas wishes don't you?!
I decided to make this stamp combo in to a bit of a different scene card then I usually create. It is a 4.5 x 4.5 card base and I decided to make it an easel style card. After colouring my stamps with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils, I hand fussy cut Lewis and set him aside.
Next, I held my breath and cut the pond to fit the size I needed. I added some Nuvo glitter accents to all of the snow areas including behind Lewis which is hard to see. Prismacolor pencils were used to add a smidge of blue to the edges of the ice and I coloured the trees twice so I could fussy cut them and pop them up with foam dots.
I wanted Lewis to "stand up" off the card but didn't want to use an action wobble so I cut a tiny piece of thin card board, bent the ends and glued them to Lewis and my card. This helps him stand off the card and he does bounce a little too just for fun.
Some simple twine and enamel dots finish off my card.
