The Jingle Belles Christmas challenge is "Keep It Neutral". I went with browns for this card:
I stamped the image and sentiment in brown ink. Using torn paper masks, I created snow hills, sponging white ink over most of the area, leaving just a little at the top of each hill. I continued to add sponged snow hills down the card front. I lightly sponged the sky as well (leaving a halo around images).
Using a white acrylic paint pen, I added snow on the buildings, trees, etc. and then splattered diluted white acrylic paint to add falling snow.
I then trimmed the panel, cut a dark brown panel to border the main panel, and added it to a kraft card base.
Supplies:
Stamps - Art-Kure church, PTI sentiment
Ink - Distress Walnut Stain, ColorBox White
Paper - kraft and dark brown cs
Size - A2
Accessories - white acrylic paint, white paint pen
This is beautiful! I love your "snow"!
