I've had a play with the new "Spruce" trees from Sweet Poppy Stencils, making this card.
I started by using one of the Lavinia Stamps "Hill Masks" to create the definition between the sky and the snow. For they sky, I used two shades of Ranger Archival Inks: Manganese Blue and Cobalt. I used the same hill mask to create the snowscape using "Bluebird" Archival Ink.
I stamped the large and small Sweet Poppy "Spruce Trees" using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink. I used Dr P H Martin's Bleed Proof White paint to add paint the snow on the trees. I used a pastel pencil to ground the tree in the foreground.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment, which is also by Sweet Poppy and is part of their "Festive Phrases" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.
A gorgeous it scene Sam,love the font on the sentiment
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteYou have created a fabulous winter scene with these beautiful trees, and l love the two blue for a strongly coloured sky which pops against the white snow slopes shaded with some more pretty blue tones...a gorgeous card Sam. x
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Pat x
DeleteGorgeous Sam - love how you have added the snow on the trees - something i always have difficulty with using Posca pens and/or gel pens as they somehow don't work as I would want. I may need to look into this paint!!

Hi Pauline. I got mine from Amazon. It's a little pot but it goes a long way. It is also very good for splattering too x
