I've made a couple of Christmas Cards today inspired by a recent visit to a Craft Show where I watched a demonstration showing ways of building up scenes from lots of different small stamps. Of course this reminded me that I have quite a few stamp sets from this company but that doesn't mean that I wasn't tempted with another set of up to date designs. I really should stay away from temptation!! Anyway I found out my original stamp sets along with card and inks and set to work. For this card I decided to pop the scene into behind really) a die cut snow globe. There were some masks on the stand but unfortunately they'd sold out by the time I went to buy a couple of them so I've had to improvise. The scene was built up using a torn paper mask and a combination of stamps old and new - new ones are the deer and rabbit. I brushed the sky area with some blue ink and all the stamping was done with black Versafine ink. Background is a piece of designer paper from Docraft which I've had lying around for some years.
Snow globe - die from Crealies
Stamps - From Card-io Combinations Collection and Christmas Companions (new set)
Greeting - stamp from Stampin' Up Contempo Christmas
PS - Dotty Jo kindly commented and said that this would fit in with the latest Christmas Kickstart challenge HERE. Pop along to see some great woodland creatures cards.
This is just gorgeous - what a lovely scene! It would fit in nicely at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
