Guest Designer for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown September 2024 Colour Challenge - Monochrome

Hello everyone.  I’m excired to be back as a guest designer (GD) at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (52CCT) for their September MONOCHROME colour challenge. 

*affiliate links were used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you*

A piece of Blurry Flurries pattern paper from Whimsy Stamps (WS) was in my stash and it determined the monochromatic colour for my card. 


This card came together quite easily.  Hill masks were hand cut from masking paper  and adhered to specific areas on the panel before stamping the trees from Inkydinkado Woodland Wonderland stamp set with Dusk dye ink.  Used a finger blending brush to swipe over the masks to create the slopes and add shading under the trees.  Splattered with diluted white gouache paint for an even more snowy wintry look.  


The WS Let It Snow sentiment was die cut twice from scraps of white cardstock and once from white glitter paper to stack for dimension.  Used the negative cutout to help with alignment when assembling the card onto a white card base to finish.


I want to thank Andreja and the 52CCT team for this GD opportunity.  For inspirations from the design team and/or link up your entry, click HERE.  Hope to see you in the gallery.  Thank you for stopping by.

  2. What a lovely snowy scene you created. Makes me want to curl up with a good book in front of a cozy fireplace. On your comment, how scary that must have been for you. Glad I didn't have that!
