Winter Wishes

Hi everyone, with Christmas hurtling towards us I am now at the stage of making a few last minute cards for hand delivery - here’s another of the fairly simple cards I managed to make in a recent crafty session.

I created a one layer card blank using a sheet of 30cm x 15cm Pink Frog super smooth card, so I could stamp and blend inks straight onto it. I created a moon and  softly defined sky by blending lilac dye ink around a circle mask, then stamped a tree three times - once in Nocturne VFC, then again using 1st & 2nd generation Monarch. I added a couple of snow drifts using my Mini Hill masks and blended Elements ink, then stamped background wording and number 25 in Morning Mist to add a bit of interest. I added some white and sparkly highlights to the moon, trees and snow, then stamped the main sentiment in Monarch. I finished off by adding some white Posca snow spatters. Very straightforward, but I was pleased with how it turned out.
