- Sponged the sky background with Memento inks in Lulu Lavender, Angel pink, Summer Sky blue and Bahama blue. Used a q-tip to add just a tiny touch of dandelion in the mix.
- Memory Box curved treeline stamp, restamped without reinking to get the horizon trees. The foreground trees were from an SU set bought at a recent consignment sale, and all the stamping was done with Memento London Fog.
- the snow was sponged with the summer sky and then under those touches, lightly touched with London Fog for a shadow.
- Impression Obsession Grazing deer were die cut from a snippet of silver glitter paper. MB star from a snippet of silver mirror paper and the Joanna Sheen sentiment from the same silver glitter as the deer. Two layers of the sentiment were glued together for some dimension, and rhinestones added.
- Copic BV000 added some shadows and a white gel pen added some snow on the trees.
- Royal blue glitter mat had the central portion removed for use in another card project.

Such a great interpretation of the theme Mary. I love your background. I have never had any success with doing this - I guess I need to try harder! Hugs. Christine xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful winter scene Mary. We have quite a lot of roe deer around us, although we don't see too much of them until the maize is cut and then they are likely to "cross" in front of us when out riding. Thanks goodness the horses are used to it, although I always prepare any newcomers, just in case!! xx

This is stamping at its best. Loving tge beautiful scene.

ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty Christmas card! I love your shadowing and the use of the colors. I'm currently debating about going through my rubber stamps and doing a clean out. Then I visit blogs like yours and love seeing the cards that people are making! It makes me hesitate a bit.....
