Hello. So happy you were able to come and take a look at what I created today.
Playing along with a challenge at Splitcoast this morning and some of my new stamps from Penny Black. Happy to have another card for Christmas done.
I began by pulling out the Nature's Gifts set and my MISTI. I inked the branches using Peeled Paint Distress ink, sprayed with water and stamped. After the first stamping, I coloured just areas of the branches with a dark green Memento marker and stamped again. It gave such a nice extra dimension to the first stamping. I did the berries the same way but this time, just coloured them with markers.
I wanted the card to have a 'snowy' feel, so I splattered white acrylic paint over the stamped areas.
The sentiment was stamped with black Memento ink, cut out and then I rubbed the edges using some more Peeled Paint Distress ink.
Adding my card to these challenges:

This is such a beautiful evergreen frame, Karen! I love how you've sponged on the sentiment piece to give it extra definition!
Such a gorgeous Xmas card and love the stamps you used, especially the pine needles. Very cool idea to splatter the paint over too and the colour around the edge of your sentiment makes it fit in perfectly. Always so wonderful to see you at ATSM!!
I love the look of that card, so pretty!
