Winter Blues

Hello and welcome! A new challenge starts today at Allsorts challenge and it's Lorraine's week to host. She chose "Winter Blues" as her theme but it's an optional theme this week so feel free to link up all your new crafty creations for a chance to win! 

Here is what I made, a CAS card with the sketch inspired by the current My Favorite Things sketch challenge. 



With my new (to me) rectangle stencil by MFT in place as well as torn paper mask to create a "hill" I inked up the sky using Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink. Then I used a white  Posca pen to flick some "snowflakes" onto the sky.

After removing the masks, I stamped the silhouette image and sentiment using Versafine Onyx ink. The image is from Penny Black set Spread Cheer. Maybe I should have done the ink spatter after stamping the image and I also wish I had added some footprints in the snow. Why don't I think of these things before photographing the card!!?? The sentiment is an oldie from Whimsy Stamps and no longer available. I finished the card off by adding die cut snowflakes (Penny Black Dancing Snowflakes die set) which I applied Stardust Stickles glitter to.

Such a beautiful card Ellie - I often think of things after wither photographing, or overnight... sometimes even after I have sent a card, which is a bit late :)

I love it! I've heard those Posca pens are fantastic but haven't purchased any yet. Getting closer to buying, I keep ruining my other pens drawing over the top of acrylic paint.
