Stampscapes Windmill Christmas Card


 

I received a very large order of new Stampscapes polymer stamps licenced to Sweet Poppy Stencils, so I of course had to make this quick card.



I used "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Sweet Poppy "Triangle Stencil".  I then lay the "Harmony Backplate Stencil" over the top and applied the same coloured ink through the stencil to create the two tones patterned diesign/Christmas Tree.

I used the Stampscapes new polymer "Large Windmill" stamp to stamp the windmill image, using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink. I then used the same ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of the Sweet Poppy Stencil "Festive Phrases" stamp set.



Finally, I used a gold shimmer pen to draw around the stamped areas and also the pattern on the Christmas Tree.  This provided a beautiful subtle shimmer, which sadly doesn't look as good in the photograph as it does in real life.
