I went with a Christmas card this time as splattering is a great technique for creating a snowfall.
I stamped the cabin image in archival ink and used coloured pencils to colour it. I also stamped it on masking paper, fussy cut the upper edge and laid it over the coloured image. I then sponged the sky with three shades of Distress ink.
I splattered it by loading a paint brush with a white acrylic paint and tapping it against another paint brush.
I used a SU embossing folder for my background piece and, after assembling the card, I went over the roof, parts of the trees, and some of the ground with a Quickie glue pen and added fine glitter.
Head over to CAS Mix Up to see the cards from the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Elaine of Craft-e-Place. You have until May 24th to link up your CAS card featuring splattering and at least one other element from our list.
I'm also entering this in the Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge where the theme for May is precipitation - splattering is a great way to create a snowfall on a Christmas card!
So pretty, Susan!! Love your gorgeous sponged sky with falling snow. White acrylic paint does make the best splattered snow. :) Adorable image and great colouring with pencils. I love the texture from the glittery snow-covered roof and trees. xx
