Patterned Papers

Hi everyone, this week’s challenge at Allsorts is to use patterned paper … something I rarely do nowadays although I have enough to stock a craft store! Given this prompt I decided to look some out and have a little play with it, and the result was a simple (but hopefully effective) card with shadow stamping.

I tore two pieces of patterned paper and attached down the left side of a kraft card blank, then shadow stamped a group of fir trees using first Portobello Versafine Clair, then Brilliance pigment ink in Moonlight White. I grounded the trees with brown Zig pen and white Posca pen, then stamped the sentiment in Portobello and added white Posca “snow” accents. I then died some white Posca snowflakes and that was it - job done! 

Stamps: Lavinia Christmas Tree Group; sentiment - Visible Image Poinsettia Grunge;

Media: Versafine Clair (Portobello); Brilliance Pigment ink (Moonlight White); Posca pen (white);

Paper: LotV Krafty Christmas.
