I got the idea for this one from the shape of the Winterland stamp and I sized the card to fit it. The stamp is just over 10.5cm wide but I rounded each panel down to 10.5cm, so that it was easy to score on my Hougie Board. Once I'd done that I cut the slope so that it would finish just above the Nestabilities shape at the bottom. Then it was just a case of adding some details.
The sheep are from the Remountable Farm set and the geese are from the Remountable Village set.
I created the snowdrifts with a Post-it note cut to shape and an Ink Duster. I decoupaged a couple of the sheep to give the card a bit more dimension, then finished it all off with some sparkly Glamour dust.
On the show there was a gorgeous card shown by Annie Mehew. She had done a beautiful winter scene with the same Winterland stamp and the little labrador that I have on my Handmade by Lynne Hammond stamp (it is available as a separate stamp in the Remountable Home set). Anyway, I wish I'd thought of doing it. It looked so cute! I think it will be making an appearance on some of my Christmas cards. Thanks for the idea Annie.

I love monochrome cards Lynne this is lovely and I really need to use my hougie board havent used it at all yet lol huggles xxx
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful and so realistic! The snow drifts have caught the light so well - or rather, you have fashioned them in such a way as to appear so. This is piece of work to be defined by - way to go, Lynne! High-5. And, what next?
ReplyDeleteYes this is a very nice card, I think the sheep make this card well done. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Lynne and I too love the black and white. I think it is great the way all clarity stamps mix and match. ( I too may have to borrow the Labrador idea) so many ideas....thanks for the inspiration. X
