…so I couldn’t pass up the chance to ink up NBUS (never before used) adorable Rory & Noelle (Winter Mouse & Squirrel on Log) stamp by Stacey Yacula from Purple Onion Designs (POD) to create a clean and simple (CAS) winter scene card.
Image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Xpress It cardstock and on masking paper. Fussy cut masking image out to create the mask. Used the Birch Tree Window die from Simon Says Stamp (SSS) next to die cut a stencil from masking paper. Adhered the mask over the image, then positioned the DIY stencil on top and applied Salvaged Patina distress ink for the background.
Removed the stencil and mask, then coloured the image / scene in with Copic markers. To ground the image better, white gouache paint was applied at the bottom of the log for a snowy ground. The sentiment from POD Holiday Messages was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder. Die cut out with My Favorite Things A2 Stitch Rectangle Set 1 die, then mounted the panel with two pieces of white cardstock underneath for a bit of dimension. Used a white gel pen to add falling snow to finish.
Thank you for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteI love your card and this amazing winter scene. Your masking is perfect, you've managed to create such a beautiful single-layer card with a stunning stencil background. Adding white gouache to create a snowdrift is a brilliant solution.
