Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a Christmas card I made when I had a bit of spare time at my craft table after completing another project.
I cut a square of white stamping card and created a centre circle with Elements ink blended around an acetate circle mask. I then stamped my Fairy Catkins around the circle in Twilight VFC, and coloured them with a blue Sakura Stardust pen. I stamped the stag in the middle of the circle using Nocturne VFC then added some landscaping hills using a Mini Hill mask and more Elements ink. I stamped two large fir trees on the right and then masked the snowdrift and stamped various mini trees using various shades of blue VFC to add depth. I added a stamped sentiment and highlighted the scene with my Sakura Stardust pen, also adding white highlights to the stag.Finally I edged the finished piece with blue marker pen and matted onto silver mirri card and a card blank.
This is another very sparkly card … here’s an angled picture.
Whilst making this card I managed not only to drop my inkpad on it, but also to have an inked stamp fall off my stamping plaform onto it!! Hence a few additional catkins and some stars!! (possibly a save worthy of David Seaman!! … iykyk!)
I was in a bit of a rush to finish this and I now notice I didn’t add any “snow” … might do that later if I remember!

LOVE this monochrome winter scene - it's so beautiful. Well saved I'd say - no one would ever guess you had a couple of mishaps 🤣
The cool colours make for a lovely Winter scene Pauline, many thanks for sharing another with us at Allsorts and Stamping Sensations challenges.
Yep, David Seaman was a legend, the current guy worries me to bits with his butterfingers.

Love your beautiful scene Pauline - I have this stag and love how you've added him into this wreath. You can't even notice where the ink dropped - I hate it when that happens but yes what a save lol! Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM
Love a monochromatic scene and this one is so beautiful! Great cover up with the extra catkins. I hate when those mishaps happen to me and they happen often, it's always great to find a way to work around them.
Thanks so much for sharing at Allsorts challenge!
Beautiful monochrome card, love the stamped scene and fabulous stag.
