This week's Just Add Ink 'choose two' is perfect if you're making Christmas cards:
I picked deer and sparkle, although there are some trees in my background too.
This snowy scene designer paper from some years back was perfect for embellishing. I stencilled snowfall grit paste then added some freehand around the ground too. Clear rock candy glitter was spritzed all over and I added some mica flakes for that extra touch of sparkle. For good measure, I also splattered white ink everywhere - it's not quite a snowstorm, but it's definitely snowing, lol. The deer was cut from white card and ink blended, with three layers for more dimension.
It's very difficult to photograph 'sparkle' but I've tried here and if you look closely you can see the glitter in the snowflakes (you might need to click on it to enlarge it).
Materials used:
- card - night of navy, basic white, soft suede, Christmas Backdrops (Tim Holtz), Feels Like Frost DSP (SU retired), watercolour
- Tim Holtz products - Darling Deer die, snowfall grit paste, mica flakes, clear rock candy glitter, speckles stencil, spatula, glitter duster, Sidekick, Christmas token, picket fence and vintage photo distress crayons
