To interpret the sketch for CAS Colours and Sketches, I have divided the landscape into three, the sky, the hills and the foreground.
I love messing about with inks, torn bits of paper, masks, frames, stamps and sponges. This card has all those! I like to experiment with using different ways of transferring ink to paper and on this card I have used a dry baby wipe to gently rub ink directly onto the card through a frame to create the hills and the sky. For this I have used Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Dried Marigold.The tree stamps are all from Clarity Stamps inked in first and second generation using Versafine Vintage Sepia. The tree in the foreground has been stamped so that it extends beyond the frame which I think I quite like the look of.
The card has been finished using a silver greeting to base the frame and a few silver stars in the sky.I would like to wish everyone that visits my blog a very Happy Christmas and, unless I get a chance to squeeze one more in before then, I'll see you all in the New Year with lots more cards to share!
Whatever you're doing, have fun!

ReplyDeleteMy first visit, from Darnell's introduction. This is a gorgeous winter scene and the tree beyond the frame is a fabulous idea! I don't blog but I do bloghop which keeps me inspired to make cards for family and friends. I look forward to seeing more of your creations.
