Winter wonderland

Good Morning everyone

Another small batch of Christmas cards using lavinia stamps on soft gold pearl cardstock....I am slowly making a dent in my coloured cardstock😀


approx size 5x7" I first die cut my base card from soft gold pearl cardstock using crealies arch dies, and cut a smaller panel.  From the smaller panel i die cut a bauble shape from the middle. To the outside frame panel i stencilled snow with tumbled glass oxide ink and stamped fir trees with green archival ink and i added this frame to the base card with 3d foam.  

On the bauble i first stamped the wolf, then using paper masks i stamped the first trees to build up a little scene aroun him.  I added shading to ground the wolf and trees with black soot distress ink and a grey inktense pencil. I glued the bauble flat into the frame after inked the edges with the blue oxide ink.

I stamped the berries onto more pearl card, coloured red and added glossy accents and cut out, these i arranged at the top of the bauble to sort of give the effect the bauble is hanging from them.

I stamped the quote of more gold pearl card, cut out and added.  Glitter glue highlights to finish
A close up, you can make out the glitter here.  I love how the pearlescent still shines through when the light hits it.   

Version 2 is the 2nd fox in the stamp set

Version 3 is using 2 hares
