I picked up the adorable Inkadinkado Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Stamp Set last year AFTER Christmas and I’ve been itching to use it ever since. Although I haven’t had time to pick up wreaths for the front and side doors of our home, my plan is to add these to some pine branch wreaths as embellishments. I have until this Friday when our doors need to be holiday party ready for the 3 parties we are hosting!
Because the stamps are acrylic (not photopolymer) each image needed to be stamped out 4 times to get clean crisp images. This was made possible with my Mini MISTI (which is a lifesaver for less-than perfect stamping). With the top of a bow from the Lawn Fawn Baaah Humbug Stamp Set, I was even able to add a Clarice to the ensemble of characters (see video for how-to details)!
I used the following Copic colors to color up all the characters:
Rudolph: Nose: R05, R24 and R27; Lighter areas: E50 and E51; Brown hide and hooves: E35, E23 and E87
Clarice: Lighter areas: E50 and E51; Brown hide and hooves: E35, E23 and E87; Polka dot red bow: R05, R24 and R27 with Uniball Signo White Gel Pen
Sam the Snowman: Snowman: C0, C1 and W3; Umbrella: G24 and YG63; Hat band: Y00 and Y15; Vest: G17, G29, B39 with stitching details added with dot coloring and faux stitching using a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen
Yukon Cornelius: Skin: E50 and E51; Ear muffs: Y15 and YR24; Hat: R05, R24 and R27; Wood handles and satchel: E23 and E37; Beard and mustache: E99 and E07; Blue coveralls: B93, B95 and B97; Hammer head: C3
Bumble the Abominable Snowman: Reds: R05, R24 and R27; Blue face and hands: B93 and B95; Yellows: Y00 and Y15; Fur: W0 and W3
Hermey the Elf: Skin: E50, E51 and R30; Hair: Y00, Y15 and YR24; Reds: R05, R24 and R27; Blues: B93, B95 and B97; and Book: E23 and E37 and C1
I fussy cut each image with my favorite Fiskars Spring Loaded Scissors and inked the edge of the cut images with a Momento Tuxedo Black Marker and glued them around a couple of Celebrate It acrylic mirrored word ornaments that I had picked up in some after-Christmas Michaels grab bags last year. The silver “CHEER” and gold “NOEL” mirrored words are so sparkly (although the pictures don’t seem to capture it). I used my favorite Art Glitter Glue with Fine Tip Nozzle, but I suspect the Beacon 3-in-1 Glue would work well with these nonporous word ornaments too.
The following is a video share of the tweaks I made to the stamps and the overall project description:
