Another Christmas card made for this year's box and this time I decided to build up a little inky scene within a frame for a relatively clean and simple look. I used the square which came from cutting the stitched frame and after masking, the sky area was inked using Distress inks - the moon was a little mask punched from some masking paper. With the masks still in place I stamped the distant line of trees, followed by removing the mask to add the deer and trees in the foreground. A touch of glitter here and there and the square was popped back into the aperture. It was interesting looking through some of my seasonal craft items, collected over many years - such a wide selection from which to choose.
Deer and distant trees - stamps from Card-IO
Trees - stamp from Lavinia
