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.
Stamps: Tracy Evans Boutique Designs TE23 Winter Delights, TE22 Christmas Wishes;
Media: Spectrum Noir Harmony dye ink (Pale Fig); Lavinia Elements ink (Graphite); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Monarch, Morning Mist); Sakura Stardust pen (clear); Signo pen (white); Posca pen (white);
Tools: Lavinia Mini Hill masks and circle masks.

A beautiful winter scene - just love those slightly straggly looking trees - super ink blending and the words add some extra interest to balance the design
Beautiful card and stamps-love the trees.

This is beautiful! I love the look of the snow over the trees. It just snowed for the first time this season where I live. My kids have tracked in muddy wet footprints from playing outside and I now need to have my carpets cleaned haha. Wish me luck!
