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);

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

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!
Beautiful love your layout and stamp. Thank you so much for joining The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge!. Anita DT
