Winter Cabin

Hi everyone, I had a trip on Saturday to the Stamperama craft fair at Port Sunlight, where a few things fell into my basket as I wandered around the various stalls filled with crafting delights. Here is my first share, using one of several Inkylicious stamps I purchased on the day, paired with some of my existing Tracy Evans stamp and stencil.

I cut a 13.5cm square of kraft card, and created the bauble by blending Brilliant Moonlight white ink inside the bauble stencil, then edging with a fine white Posca pen. I stamped the cabin using Pinecone VFC then coloured it with a white Posca pen, adding a few more snowdrifts inside the bauble and some faux snow spatter. I masked the bauble and added a shadow with Pinecone VFC, then stamped background text with Portobello. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto a snippet of brown card, cut out and attached. I edged the finished piece with brown marker pen then matted onto a white pearlescent card border and a kraft card blank. Finally I added some Stickles for sparkle, which unfortunately doesn’t show up at all in the photo.

Edited: I realised after I had published this and linked it up everywhere that I had forgotten to draw a bauble string - doh! So here’s a pic with a string!
