Good Morning.
Today, I am playing with a new die from Penny Black, some Yupo paper and alcohol inks.
So here's what I did.
I began by added some Ranger Alcohol inks onto my piece of Yupo paper. Love how the inks move and react on the Yupo, such a unique paper.
When it was dry, I used some Ranger Blending Solution and a piece of drywall tape to stencil in the background. I like the look it gave and the extra interest it added.
I used some Inka Gold diluted with water and flicked that onto the background with a paintbrush to look like little star.
This adorable little die from Penny Black is called Winter Village. I die-cut it onto white and mounted it over the inky Yupo. I stamped the sentiment from the new Love and Peace sentiment set then I framed the whole thing up and pop dotted it onto my card front.
Feeling happy to have another holiday card made.
Thanks so much for coming over to take a look.

A really lovely card - great background (and explanation) also the die is perfect. Apologies for my lack of comments recently - been having broadband speed problems which made everything online seem like hard work
This is beautiful. Love the colors on the Yupo. [Bunny]
Karin this is stunning, and if it wasn't my bed time here in Aussie, I'd play with the Yupo, which I love doing...hugs.xx
Super background, Karen! I love it. The colors and design look so amazing. The die cut is so cute and just perfect for your beautiful starry night background.

This is so pretty. I like the background which is so striking behind the white die and it's a great card.
Oh dear, I think I might have to buy that PB village die now I've seen your card! It is beautiful - wonderful sky with perfect splatter of gold for the stars.
What a serene and gorgeous Christmas village card, Karen!! Hugs, Darnell

Love this one, great scene, and wonderful colours
I always enjoy that subtle mesh look that drywall tape gives on your project, such a neat touch. This is a very nice card.
Beautiful!
This white silhouette die cut scene goes beautifully over the alcohol ink sky Karen, which looks great with the dry wall stencilling and the splatters of gold. x
All those white layers and one gorgeous alcohol background. This is gorgeous, Karen.
Fabulous card Karen x
Beautiful card Karen. LOVE the AI background. Using blending solution to remove some colour with drywall tape is very creative. LOVE the look! And that die is adorable. I see more shopping in my future! :) xx

Karen, so pretty, love the little flecks of gold. Thanks for the inspiration in pulling out my snow scene dies :)
I love this card and your background is awesome. I made a similar card with a different village die but my background was completely different.
Another beautiful card. I love your background. For some reason I've had trouble leaving comments on your blog recently. Barbxx
