A Winter Scene.

Time again for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our next makes. Christine chose the theme of Winter Scene. I have only managed two cards, 1 winter scene and the other not technically a scene as such so I will go with anything goes for it. In my defense I did watercolour them which took a lot longer than I had envisaged and I also procrastinated over the detailing. Plus I managed to get paint streaks where I didn't want it on both cards and had to do cover up jobs.  Ok Excuses over and onto the cards.

Card 1. The winters Scene.

I have used a Clarity mask to create the trees and the background. I started by drawing an oval onto my water colour card and placed the tree mask over the top so I could see where I needed the paint to go. 

I used distress inks and a water filled pen to pick up the colour from my palette tray. Once the oval was dry I stamped around the edge using stamps by Jayne Nestorenko from her 'Just My Imagination Collection' I wasn't happy with all the white card surrounding the oval of pine leave and cones so I randomly filled in the white spaces using a larger pine leaves and berries stamp from the same set.  Much more happy with the result apart from the big mistake that the sentiment is now hiding. Again it is from the same set and does cover up the deer I had attempted to put stepping  out of the oval. 

I used a silver gel pen to highlight round the oval and a Sharpie white pen for the snowflakes. Red Distress ink to paint the berries. 

Card 2. The Anything goes Scene.

I used another  Clarity mask to create the stag and then painted in with Distress ink. I do not have the matching stamp for it so I drew the stag features in by hand and highlighted with  a gold gel pen.  I drew an oval circle in pencil and then used another stamp from the same set as above to create the border of berries and leaves that  I painted with distress inks. Finished off with the same gold gel pen.  Then I  managed to get two brown streaks within the oval. Drat!! Whilst looking for a suitable sentiment to cover I found these 2 little wooden stag discs from 'Scrap Matts' so strategically placing them they covered up the marks perfectly without I hope it looking obvious that is what they are doing.  Sentiment bar from my stash.

Stay safe and enjoy a holiday at home this year.
