A night of woodland beauty

This week I am sharing my top three tree stamps from Penny Black’s new ‘Magic of the Season’ release. You know I love tree stamps so you wont be surprised that they were the first image I looked for when the new release arrived. The pretty spruce silhouette stamp immediately caught my eye and I knew it would be in my top three tree stamps. I have four stamped landscape cards to share this week and this little tree stamp features twice, today in a night time snowscape and tomorrow in a day time scene.
You will probably recognise another favourite tree stamp of mine in the background of this scene, it’s the little tree from the ‘Prancers’ set. I created a video to show you how I made this scene which features some watercolour effects along side some pigment ink stamping. I chose to pair pigment inks, which are waterproof, with watercolour painting so I could have pretty blends in the sky and snow but sharp tree images in the foreground and background.

This scene is gorgeous Heather using these PB stamps, as are all your snowy scenes, and TYFS us how you achieved this great result . x
Heather, it is gorgeous! Love it! Thanks for sharing and the video. I always marvel how easy you make it look.
It’s just beautiful Heather, well done.
Gorgeous, loved watching you make it.
Nice to see it happen, thanks for the video! Lovely technique combining the pigment & watercolor.
Beautiful, loved seeing it come together!
Great video and card. Thanks for sharing your talent and showing us how.
That is such a beautiful card. I was fascinated watching you create it. Thanks for the video.
A total wow card. You excel at these, Heather!
Heather, it is so nice seeing how you got your “edges” and shadows….the tree shadow really baffled me, it was so ‘perfect’! Now I see, it was a ‘perfect’ technique! 🙂 Thank you for the video…all your efforts are so appreciated on this side of “Blogland”! 🙂
Hi Clelie,
I’m so glad the video was helpful. It’s nice when a technique is pretty straight forward but looks like it is very tricky!
Another beautiful card Heather!!! Thank you so much for the video. I loved watching you make this card. I hope you’ll have more videos!

Thank You, for the video tutorial! I’m getting some Frisket!
You are a great artist! love how you worked out those trees. Tried to work after your tutorial, but rather failed. How do you achieve those fine snow flakes? if I work with my masking fluid, it makes rather big drops. Do you dilute those masking fluids somehow?
I have a video showing my masking fluid process here
Ohhhhh I LOVE EVERYTHING about your composition!! I dine have any trees in my stash so Ill have to get penny blacks. Thank you for the video but can you explain more about the resist fluid? Where are you puting it? Are you painting it on or sorinkling it all over?
Hi Kimberley,
Thank you for your kind words. If you take a look at the video linked in the comment above yours on the ‘night of woodland beauty’ post you will see how I add the resist fluid. It shows the fluid and my method for applying it.
