The Card Concept - Winter Cocoa or Winter Snow

Welcome to another challenge with The Card Concept! Being the second challenge of the month, we're giving you a choice of two wonderful inspirational images.

I picked the Winter Snow theme and used the optional colour palette on my mixed media card.


I began with stamping the house image then coloured using distress crayons. After embossing those gorgeous pine branches I sponged over them with white ink then liberally pounced over them with white distress crayon to give it more depth of colour plus more texture. Further white crayon was added to the roof and trees then everything was splattered with white distress paint. The edges were sponged and distressed.

With the crazy weather we've been having the past couple of months, somedays it feels like winter and on the days it doesn't, it's so hot and humid I wish it were! Lol. 

Materials used:
  • stamps - Winterscape, Tiny Text Christmas (both Tim Holtz)
  • card - baked brown sugar
  • other TH products - picket fence distress ink and paint, pine branches 3D embossing folder, black soot oxide ink
  • distress crayons - picket fence, walnut stain, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn, forest moss
  • other - clear embossing powder, heat tool, MISTI, craft foam, paintbrush, sponge dauber, Big Shot, distressing tool

We'd love to see your creation in our gallery and of course there are more cards to inspire you from my fellow team members over on the Card Concept blog

Thanks for dropping in.

Cheers
Kerry
