But decided to get a few challenges done. Today I'm looking at Christmas challenges:
Christmas Cards All Year Round - Snow Buddies
Christmas Kickstart - Winter Wonderland Scene
Here's my winter scene with three reindeer buddies:
I made the background by covering a piece of cs with double sided tape. I patted Versamark on the back of a stencil to prevent it sticking to the tape, added clear glitter through the stencil for the snowflakes, burnished it into the tape, then removed the stencil and added blue glitter over the rest of the tape and burnished it.
I die cut the deer out of copper cs and the stitched sloped hills out of white shimmer cs. I then put the scene together. I added a small sentiment and added the scene to a white shimmer cardbase.
In real life it is much more sparkly and shimmery. Thanks for stopping by today, and please stay home and stay safe.
Supplies:
Stamps -
Ink -
Paper -
Size -
Accessories -
I really want to know how to do this! That background is just gorgeous. I'm so terrible at trying to visualize steps so now I'll have to google a video to figure out this awesome techniques.
