Christmas Scene
I don't create many cards with scenes & when I do, it's usually for Christmas. Ever since I saw the theme for Christmas Kickstart, I've been trying to come up with something. I have some dies that basically are a scene, but didn't want to use them this time. Since I wanted to also enter Rudolph Days, last night I sat down & finally got all the pieces completed. This morning I just glued everything together.
I began by smooshing DIs on a scrap of wc paper big enough to cut out 2 PPP Layered Trees. I purposely used the textured side for more interest. After die cutting the pieces, I decided to make this tree darker by blending additional ink. The ends were covered in Nuvo Drops Morning Dew. I can't seem to make drops with them, but they work beautifully for a very sparkly glitter glue.
The IO deer were die cut from a piece of lighter weight wc paper that was smooshed with brown shades of DI. The snowdrift was cut with a very old MFT die I'd never used & the sky was blended with blue shades of DI. I used white gauche paint for snow & stamped the W&W sentiment in Memento Nautical Blue. Now to make a card with the other tree which has a very different look. Stay tuned!

I love the scene you've created Greta, especially the wonderful trees. I love making drops with my Nuvo Drops, but they only make a dome shape if I keep the bottle completed upright, rather than at an angle, when I'm gently squeezing the it. xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful winter scene that you've created. Thank you for joining in Rudolph Days Challenge this month.
