Winter Woodland Wonder

Woodland Wonder is another gorgeous stamp from the new Penny Black release. It is lovely to use in a winter scene but, like ‘Etched Branches‘ in my last post, I will be using all year I’m sure.
I used sponging and embossing for this scene, stamping the image first in versamark then again in versafine onyx black ink before embossing in clear powder. I used a paintbrush to paint some masking fluid on a few branches and splattered a few spots here and there before moving on to the sponging. I started with the sky, sponging it in Memento Summer Sky ink then masked over both the sky and the foreground to sponge Memento Nautical blue mountains. I sponged over the edge of a curved mask a couple of times in the foreground to create the appearance of snow banks. To finish I removed the masking fluid and matted in both black and white cardstock. The little silver snowflake is a charm my friend Lorraine gave me last year when I was ‘shopping her stash’ in Washington. It is held in place by some silver cord.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers; we are enjoying some lovely sunny skies and beautiful autumn colours in Ottawa this weekend. Later today we will be enjoying some roast turkey. I have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which are my generous and faithful blog readers.

WOW! Looks real and makes me feel cold. Love the silver cord and snowflake charm.
Wonderful scene! I love the double stamping idea with the clear powder, thank you! Happy Thanksgiving for yesterday! xxx
A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Heather — I hear you had some warm temperatures again today. Where were those this summer?
This mountain landscape is gorgeous… your talent at creating a scene is extraordinary.
I was looking for some older Penny Black nature stamps and just discovered your blog. My goodness, you are a fabulous artist! I learned some new things, just watching you this morning. Wanted to add, I also have arthritis in all my fingers, yet I have learned how to hold tools differently by shear persistence and slowing down! I know you will do fine also with adjustments! The art is in your heart and head, so it will still prevail! God Bless You!
So serene, love it!
