Its Christmas card club today and Christine has chosen the theme Snowy trees - I managed to make 3 cards....
They were variations on a theme but all basically the same.
I used all Tim Holtz products ... dies, stamps and distress inks!
I think this is my fave of the three ...
But I am pretty pleased with them all - basic steps:
1. stamp background trees in versamark and heat set in white embossing powder.
2. Die cut trees in foreground,
3. stamp newsprint stamp in versamark, set with white embossing powder and die cut deer.
4. Create landscape using masks and torn paper and stencil brushes.
5. assemble and stamp sentiment.
I hope you've enjoyed my post today!!!
Big hugs!!!

ReplyDeletelove all 3 of these cards. The same as you say but oh so different. Love the different colour variation too.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your Dad is not so good. Hugs to you and the girls. Mrs A.
What a great idea to make three cards especially when the card is as stunning as this one is. I used the same tree die as you did.
ReplyDeleteThese beauties remind me of the children's song - "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong - can you guess what card is not like the others before I finish this song."

Hi Rachel, sorry to hear about your Dad, it's just so hard watching your parents becoming so vulnerable, you want to do so much for them,the way they did for you. And of course your lovely mum suffers too. Getting old can be so damn cruel. It's good you got some smiles today, and hope for more when you see you Dad next.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, the frosty woodland scene with the deer is brilliant, take care and a big hug, Kate x
