Peace, Love, and Joy -- a Holiday Card!

It's Tuesday,my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! This week the TFS team's theme is Winter or Christmas. I've satisfied both criteria by creating a snowy holiday card using four of the adorable Zini  Mini Cling Rubber Stamp Sets by Elena Zinski for PaperArtsy with a sentiment from the Snow Globe Clear Stamp Set by Jane's Doodles.

Here's my card!

Instructions: 

1. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 6.25" x 9.25". Score at 5 7/8" and fold to form an A6 card. Set aside.
2. Use Obsidian Almagam ink and a stamping platform to stamp the post box, the four houses, and the street light on the right with black ink onto white cardstock then onto repositionable label paper.
3. Fussy-cut the label paper versions and place over their counterparts. 
4. Remove the stamps from the stamping platform and thoroughly clean.
5. Position the street light stamp facedown on the left over the post box mask as shown. 
6. Press the lid of the platform onto the back of the stamp, lift the lid, ink the stamp, and stamp onto the image panel and onto repositionable label paper
7. Fussy-cut the second street light and place it over its counterpart. 
8. Place the flattest hill mask from the Acetate Hills Masks horizontally slightly above the base of the houses, covering the bottom portion of the image panel. 
9. Brush Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the mask and the masked images onto the image panel to create the sky.
10. Remove the Acetate Hills Mask.
11. Place a ruler horizontally covering the bottom 1" of the image panel.
12. Place a Post-It Note on a diagonal from the left side of the left-most house's door to the edge of the ruler.
13. Brush Pumice Stone Distress Ink over the right edge of the Post-It Note onto the image panel.
14. Move the Post-It Note to run diagonally from the right side of the door to the ruler.
15. Brush Pumice Stone Distress Ink over the left edge of the Post-It Note onto the image panel. There's now a path from the house to the ruler, which will become the sidewalk.
16. Repeat Steps #13 - 15 for each of the houses to create four front paths.
17. Shift the ruler to cover the pathways.
18. Brush Pumice Stone Distress Ink over the ruler to the base of the image panel to create the sidewalk.
19. Remove all the masks and reserve for another use.
20. Use Copic markers to color the houses, post box, streetlights, lawn, and stairs.
21. Use a Posca paint pen and the Gelly Roll Bold Line Stardust Clear Glittering Ink Pen to add glittery snow to the lawn, streetlights, post box, paths, sidewalk, and houses. 
22. Use the Gelly Roll Bold Line Stardust Clear Glittering Ink Pen to add dots of glitter pen to the windows. Use a BG000 marker to spread the glitter pen ink over the windows
23. Squeeze a bit of Snowflake Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint onto a craft mat, mist with water, then use a paintbrush to splatter the image panel with "snow".
24. Trim the image panel and mat with blue cardstock cut slightly larger than the image panel.
25. Adhere the matted image panel to the reserved white card.
26. Use a sentiment die to cut blue cardstock.
27. Use a stamping platform and Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the "Peace, Love, and Joy" sentiment from the Snow Globe Clear Stamp Set onto a blue die-cut.
28. Heat set the die-cut and adhere to the image panel as shown.
29. Add two clear rhinestones to finish the card.
