JAI #683 - Just Choose Two, Take Two

I've made a second project for the Just Add Ink choose two theme this week, picking trees and ornaments. It's a card design I've been wanting to make for some time after seeing gorgeous samples on Pinterest, and as the elements fitted right in with our 'just choose two' options, what better time?

Anyone dreaming of a white Christmas?

I cut the ornament die from masking paper and attached the outside portion to my kraft card, sponging inside with white ink and adding white artist's pastel around the edges for extra intensity. Using a white gel pen I went around the outline of the ornament then used my MISTI to stamp the image in permanent ink just where I wanted it. The gel pen was used again for the snow highlights on the cabin, trees, smoke and ground before the mask was removed. Next I set the inside part of the mask (the ornament) over my image and gave a light sponge of brown ink around it for shadowing. Once that was removed, the whole front panel got a splattering of white paint.

Materials used:

• stamps - Winterscape (Tim Holtz)
• card - distress kraft heavystock (Tim Holtz)
• inks - picket fence distress ink, vintage photo oxide ink (Tim Holtz), Nocturne (Versafine Clair), titanium white (Pan Pastel)
• other - ornament die (stash), Big Shot, blending tools, MISTI, white gel pen, craft foam, picket fence distress paint (Tim Holtz), paintbrush, gold cord, mini glue dot, sponge dauber, masking sheets (Lavinia)

Which two of our options will you pick? We'd love to see your projects in our gallery!

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers
