Less is More Snow
Posted: December 11, 2011 Filed under: CAS, Stamped Landscapes 41 Comments
This week the challenge on the Less is More blog is a One Layer Card featuring snow. I love doing snow scenes and have been looking for a window of opportunity to do one or two.
I started by masking the top and bottom of the card base to leave a panel where I could brayer the sky. I also added a moon mask. To create falling snow I flicked masking fluid all over the card base and let it dry. I then brayered Taken with Teal ink over the panel, working from right to left so it would be lighter around the moon. After I removed the masks I used a wavy hill mask to sponge in some snow drifts and stamp some clumps of trees.
Still nowhere near this amount of snow around here, but there are two weeks before Christmas so it could still be white. Thanks for dropping in, I hope you have a great week.
Supplies:
Stamps: Wondrous Gift, a little tree stamp from Embassy Arts
Inks: Versafine Onyx Black, Taken with Teal
Cardstock: MFP Snow Storm Smooth Heavy
Also: Winsor & Newton masking fluid

Among hundreds of Christmas cards in the SCS Gallery this has to take First Prize, especially because the peaceful feel is so perfect with that sentiment and the way you brayer and sponge makes the scene so real. It couldn’t be more perfect.

Hi,
I realise this post is about 7 years ago (I just saw your beautiful card on Pinterest) but do you remember how you removed the masking fluid afterwards? Also, does the masking fluid take long to dry before you can begin brayering the sky? And finally, was this all done on glossy cardstock as I’ve heard that works best for brayering, to get good blending of the colour?
Thank you and regards,
