White Christmas


 Meet today's card.
Just a fun one I created using stamps from Penny Black.

I began by masking the edges of my white cardstock with Painter's Tape.  I placed the Brushed Pine stamp into my Misti, coloured with Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped.  
Next I stamped the Penny Black sentiment from the Yuletide Wishes set with black Memento ink and clear embossed.  Using some Distress Stain, I watercolored in the background and let that dry.

To add extra details to the pinecones, I painted on some white acrylic paint and splattered some over the whole card front.  To add more depth, I also randomly stamped the Script with Versamark ink and white heat embossed.



 Adding my card to these challenges:

Supplies:  stamps- Penny Black/ ink- Versamark, Memento, Distress/ Distress Stain/ eb powder/ white acrylic paint/ paint brush/ MISTI/ Memento markers

    I just pulled out this stamp yesterday and said to myself "I'm going to try Karen's technique on this." Now I have something specific to go by. Thanks for sharing at just the right time.

    WOW ... gorgeous card Karen. I've had this stamp for a long time, but don't think I've used it yet. You've inspired me to ink it up! xx

    I have spent about $100 on Penny Black stamps in the last few days based on your inspiration. May I ask a specific question? When you do the back ground with stains, do you use the stain directly or do you dilute it? Paint in on with a brush. Appreciate any help you can give. I want to be like you!! LOL Great card BTW!
