Hello everyone. Another late post from me (it’s getting to be a bit of a habit!), but it’s been a busy day again and I hadn’t drafted this one up ahead of time. This is another of the designs I was demoing at Clarity’s Open Days last month and I realised I hadn’t shared it with you, so time to put that right. It’s a very simple monochrome card using the Woodland Scene stamp set and one of the landscape masks.
I didn’t do step by step photos for this, as It’s very straightforward. I cut a piece of card to fit a 6×6 blank and first stamped the tree trunks and the large moon from the set in ‘shadow grey’ Archival ink. I took one of the landscape masks, laid it in place and sponged more of the grey ink across it before moving it down the card to create a second piece of land. I added the bunnies (or hares?) sitting in the field checking out what’s around, plus the eagle in the sky and the sentiment across the bottom. After dragging a little more of the grey across a torn piece of copy paper to ground the trees, I used a square embedder to emboss an inner frame on the topper and simply attached it to the 6×6 card blank.
I told you it was simple! I do like the soft effect of the grey on white, but I reckon it could look good in other colours too – maybe blue? Anyway, I’m off to share this grey one with the challenges at CAS on Friday for their Christmas theme and The Four Seasons who are now celebrating ‘winter’.
