Claritystamp Challenge - Trees

Hi folks - December already!!!!
Congratulations to our winners from last months Challenge, brilliant entries yet again.

The Challenge for this month is Trees and below is my inspiration.

I didn't make life easy for myself with this one, it turned out to be very fiddly.




I started by brayering the background, this bit was very easy as it doesn't matter if you get lines!!! 

Then I masked off the frame around the stamp before inking.  Then I told off the tape and stamped twice, side by side, without the frame.

I drew a squiggly line across the top of the trees and used Momento London Fog to put in the shadows under the trees.

When the ink was dry on the trees I used a white pen to draw in the snow down the left hand side of the trees.


I then stamped Happy New Year underneath.

I always get New Year cards to send to the people who send me a xmas card when I haven't sent one to them!!  Shhhh ...........
