You must use products from brands that Country View Crafts stocks, and please mention them in your post. You can enter 5 times each month with different projects and one winner will be selected randomly. The prize for this month's challenge is a workshop in the new year with one of our Design Team - Zoe Hillman. Very exciting.
So, my Christmas Card is for my Partner and I’ve created a Christmas snowy woodlands scene.
Using
a piece of watercolour card, I made an inky background using Distress Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass inks, Distress Spritz Tumbled Glass and
splattered with white acrylic paint.
Once
dry, I
added texture with Distress Paste Sparkle using the Tim Holtz Speckles
Stencil, and dabbed some along the bottom of the card too.
Using a
brush with these watered down on my craft mat, I added a little Distress
Ink Mulled Lavender and Distress Oxide Spray Wilted Violet to bring a
bit of contrast to the background.
I die cut my main elements out in white card using the Tim Holtz Dies Thin Ice and Vault Festive Wreath.
I
smooshed the trees and foliage in Bundled Sage and the tree trunks in Frayed Burlap and Gathered Twigs. (I realised after I put the elements
together on the trees that the trunks should have gone on last, on top
of the snow, but hey ho, oh well oops!)
I die
cut two Tim Holotz Sizzix Darling Deer 664968 on beige card and then also smooshed in Frayed Burlap and Gathered Twigs. I painted the antlers with white acrylic
which got a bit coloured by the die ink underneath which is what I
wanted as I didn’t want them pure white.
Once all the focal elements were ready, I placed them where I wanted them to be on the background and glued these down.
I stamped out the sentiment from Tim Holtz Crazy Talk CMS236 on book paper and added this to the main card.
I layered this onto silver mirror card, which I then layered onto my base card using doubled sided foam to raise it up.
And here’s the finished result. My Partner thought it was lovely and I hope you do too. Maybe you’ll give this a go yourself.
And don’t forget there’s still time to enter the Challenge.
Thank you for looking at my blog.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
