Is it really a month since the last card post for Christmas At Sweet Stampin'? Where is the time going?
The snow is texture paste dabbed on and a little iridescent glitter added before it dried, sadly that doesn't show up n the picture. The tiny snowflakes and small drifted snow areas are drawn on with a white gel pen.
Lamps and windows should have a glow about them so they are coloured with a yellow alcohol pen.
Keeping it fairy simple it was layered with a white mat, then straight on to a Kraft card blank. The greeting is stamped and embossed in white to keep to the colour pallet.
There is a lot of inspiration from the DT over on the blog to get you in the Christmas spirit so please pop over and take a look, it's never too early to make your cards.

ReplyDeleteLovely card. Thank you for joining Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge at 12 Months of Christmas link up. Hope to see you again next time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great subdued but effective card, Rocky. You are certainly correct - I also think black ink would have been too harsh for this. Loving the added snow effect and the yellow window for the inside light. Thanks very much for joining us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge. :) Lynda/Loopyloo DT
