Winter Thank you

I’m a guest over at the Foiled Fox blog today; you know that is one of my favourite places to share my cards. With less than a week until Christmas I have switched to making thank you cards. This one combines several Penny Black stamps, one from this year and others from Christmasses past. All the snow falling is the effect created when painting over splattered masking fluid. After the painting has dried I rub off the masking to reveal little white dots – snow! The black stamping is done with pigment inks to preserve the sharp defined edges of the trees and deer. The soft tree shapes in the background are stamped in distress inks to enable blending and bleeding into the watercolour sky.
The whole process is described in detail on the Foiled Fox blog and supplies are listed below.
Supplies
Stamps: snowy village, nature’s friends, woodland beauty, happy snippets
Inks: versafine onyx black, evergreen bough distress ink
Distress Stains: salty ocean, faded jeans, evergreen bough

Also: masking fluid, stamping platform

Yet another beauty! It’s stunning with the black silhouettes over your beautiful coloring of the snow and sky.
Lovely scene!
Oh Heather, I so envy your ability to create a beautiful winter scene, I know envy is not a good thing but I can’t help it as you are so adept at this style and the beautiful blue of the sky with the bits of snow falling and the gorgeous silhouette foreground with the trees and deer make the perfect combination. x
Beautiful, just beautiful !!! I love !
Oh Heather this is just gorgeous, so lovely.
