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 ...........
Morning Yvonne, ..hope you are well....I love this card and what a clever idea to make New Year cards....I especially love the white down the side of the trees...it really gives depth. ....hugs....xxx
