Merry Moosemus

This snowy scene featuring two Moose taking a walk in the woods was created using the Moose stamp set and coordinating punch. It looks so cold I shiver looking at it

I started by stampimg the two Moose using the Stamparatus as a stamping tool .  The animal is stamped using a two stamp process.  It does not matter which is stamped first- the outline or the body, so I thought I would experiment. The male moose had the outline stamped first using Black Memento, followed by the body in Soft Suede ink; the female had the body stamped first, followed by the outline.  Surprisingly stamping the outline last gave the image a cleaner crisper look.

Both Moose were punched using the Moose punch and to make one of the Moose a female I cut off the antlers.

Mossy Meadow ink was used to stamp the trees. with second generation stamping used to create the lighter tree images. Using an aquapainter, I applied Smoky Slate ink lightly to the foreground followed by Seaside Spray.  Seaside Spray was also used on the sky after which snow was stamped and the two blended with the Aqua Painter.

The footprints of both animals were stamped in Seaside Spray after which Shimmer Texture Paste was added to mimic snow being careful not to cover up the foot prints.

After the two animals were placed, additional footprints, errrr moose prints, were added.  And, puff paint was used to create a snow storm.

This snowy scene was matted with Mossy Meadow card stock, and then added to a Mossy Meadow card base matted with Whisper White and a panel of Taken With Plaid DSP
