Playing in the snow

Good morning folks, I hope you are having a good start to the week. I had a bit of a play with inky backgrounds last week and today's card uses one of them.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks in Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry, and Faded Denim, to blend a sort of wintry night background, onto watercolour card.

Then using a star stencil and Picket Fence Distress Ink, I added in some stars too.

For the main images I used a couple of dies that came free with issue 168 of Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. I cut them using the same Watercolour card and then inked them again with the Distress Oxide inks.

I laid everything out onto a pale blue card blank and decided how high I wanted the images to come and then trimmed them at the bottom. As I was adding a sentiment to the bottom layer, I stamped that first before adding it onto the card using foam tape.

The sentiment is a Lawn Fawn Winter Scripty Sayings stamp, stamped with Jet Black Archival ink. I finished the card with a few drops of Nuvo Snow Blizzard Crystal Drops, and the odd bit of clear Wink of Stella.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
