So my share with you is of a wintry vista too..... this is a CASE'd card which I saw last year over a the wonderfully talented Heather's blog - and once I saw it I had to run out and buy the stamp IMMEDIATELY! But by then Christmas was over and it lay in the drawer - until last week!
Stamped the image direct onto the card and clear embossed.
Scored two lines down the left side and stamped the greeting in Stormy Sky DI.
Masked off the left side and using torn post it notes to create 'banks' sponged Tumbled Glass DI along the edges.
Stole a coin from dear husband to make the moon mask and then sponged the sky with mix of Stormy Sky/Faded Jeans/Dusty Concord.
Left for a little while to dry then used some glitter dust on the snow banks and Cranberry Stickles on the winter berries.
I just LOVE this stamp!
And it was great getting inky for a change - although my technique is not brilliant, I am happy with the way these all turned out!
