Hello! Today I created my family portrait Christmas card using stamps from the November 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit. These stamps include a bunch of line art drawings of people, so it is really fun to create a family with them! There is even enough characters that I’ll bet you could have an entire family reunion!
I started out by building up my family on the Misti stamping tool. I found that I could fit them all close enough together that I was able to stamp them ALL at once! A big time saver!
After I stamped them using amalgam ink (my favorite for Copic coloring), I began inking around them using makeup brushes for a soft look. I started building up the color slowly with a soft touch, then kept adding to it until I got the look I wanted.
Then I colored us all up with Copics!
I have a quick video to show you how quickly this card came together, watch it below or on YouTube:
Isn’t this such a fun set to build a family portrait Christmas card?! I had so much fun.
But my sister, who is a professional photographer, tells me it’s no longer cool to be all matchy-matchy in family photos. That it should be more natural looking. Lol.
So will you create a cooler family than mine? I’d love to see your creations!
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards, so I’ve made a list here using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
I hope you enjoyed a look at my Christmas cards of the family photo this year! Lol. I’ll be back with more inspiration soon.
