I loved using a lot of the new products to create this winter scene. I did not use a sentiment because this may not be used as a Christmas card. It may be a birthday card for someone celebrating a birthday in December.
The card base is Blueberry Bliss card stock, layered with a frame of Sparkle shimmer paper, the center of which had been die cut with a stitched rectangle die.
The art piece was also die cut with the Stitched Rectangle die, and the scene on the card above was created on this die cut piece.
After tearing a piece of copy paper to protect the white area below, the brayer was used to colour in the sky. Starting at the horizon, Seaside Spray was applied lightly, followed by Balmy Blue and then Blueberry Bliss. White acrylic paint on the end of a paint brush created the stars in the sky.
The pine trees in the distance were stamped with second generation stamping using Shaded Spruce ink. The larger tree in the foreground was stamped with Early Espresso ink, and three little red cardinals added on the branches. Two deer are grazing near a pond.
To 'ground' the tree and the deer, a dark Smokey Slate Stampin' Blend was used to create shaded areas around the tree base and underneath the grazing deer.
Puff Paint, & Stampin Glitter are new products that help create some realistic looking snow drifts and snowy patches, and the new Glitter Crystal Effects makes the pond surface look really icy.
The art piece was adhered slightly over the edges of the Shimmer glimmer frame, and this was adhered to the Blueberry card base.
