I'm on a horse theme these days. Here's another:
I splattered a piece of watercolour paper with Liquid Frisket to create snowflakes drifting down in the sky.
I stamped and heat embossed the horse, then took some brown watercolour paint and filled in the open areas of its body.
I created a mask for the snowy hill and stamped and heat embossed the
trees so that they were not in the foreground. Leaving the mask in
place, I sponged the sky.
I removed the liquid frisket, added a sentiment, and put white glitter
on some of the tree branches, the upper line of the snow and behind each
hoof as if the horse was kicking up snow as he galloped.
It's being linked up with the following challenges:
The Paper Players "Into the Woods" - I like to think the horse is galloping into the woods to shelter from the snow.
Christmas Kickstart "Snow"
Krafty Chicks Challenge "Winter"
Supplies:
Stamps - Local King Rubber Stamp mustang, Tim Holtz trees, Penny Black sentiment
Ink - Versafine Vintage Sepia and Olympic Green, Distress Stormy Sky
Paper - white cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - liquid frisket, clear embossing powder, white glitter, brown watercolour paint
A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".
