A few days ago I had a Zoom call with my Crafty Friends. This month we talked about embossing pastes and gels. There are so many amazing products on the market. We did more chatting than making cards, but I did get this one card made.
I started by sponging two colours of distress ink (Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness) for the tree background using a 2part stencil Farmhouse Tree (Honey Bee). I placed the stencil over the tree and added a layer of white embossing paste. The green ink seeped into the paste a bit so after the paste was dry, I placed the stencil back over top and used white acrylic paint to add a couple of layers onto the paste. Looks a lot better.
Added two torn snow hills at the bottom and then stamped the sentiment from Bright & Light (Penny Black) in Mowed Lawn (stamped several times to make a good impression).
I'm sending this card over to Rudolph Days Challenge. It's an Anything Christmas Goes Challenge which runs from the 25th until end of month, Jan - Nov. Maureen has been running this for years and I try to play along each month to help keep my stash growing throughout the year. Thanks Maureen!
Thanks for stopping by!
