A quick post from me today, a card that I had a picture of in my head, but it was not the same picture as what I eventually created!! I started with some very plain background paper (it had a blue wash) and then stamped some of the snowflakes from the Hobby Art Winter's Snowflakes set. I stamped in Tumbled Glass, Denim and Vintage Photo Distress ink, using the first and second generations of ink. I also stamped some snowflakes in Versamark and heat embossed with white detail powder to add some variation and texture. Using the same ink colours, I distressed the outside edges of the paper to bring the eye in. To create the 'land' area at the front of the card, I tore a piece of the same backing paper as before and distressed the top torn edge to make it stand out. I also added a few snowflakes and stamped a sentiment from the Hobby Art Christmas Frosting Set.
Next came the scene arrangement. I die-cut some trees from craft card and added some Vintage Photo highlights. Using the waste as a stencil, I added some trees to the background of my scene giving some depth. The sleigh and the deer are both Sue Wilson dies, both cut using craft card once again with added highlights (I added some cream card on the reverse of the deer).
To add some 'frosting' to my card as my sentiment says, I used my finger to apply some Diamond Sparkle Medium onto the sleigh, trees, ground and deer. There are also a few tiny pearls in the centre of some snowflakes.
Voila!
