Deers in the mist...

Happy Tuesday,

Todays card mixes die cutting and stamping and colouring a great mix of medias that manages to look, hopefully, classic and elegant.

The centre of the piece is made by using the large media plate and watercolour pens sprinted with water and stamped onto watercolour card.  I then shaded through the die cut waste of cutting the deer ( from tomorrows card) using the mini blender and the night dye ink pads from Izink. I also used my landscape mask and the night ink to add a base of hills for the deer ( I hate to see things floating!)

I made the piece up into a snow globe using the find it media snow globe die.  I added acetate on the front and some crystal stars sealing the whole piece with foam tape.  I also added an edge of snow glitter all around the globe.






The background is made in the same way as the post earlier last week using masking fluid and the Izink pearl pigment inks.  I added a bow made from ribbon coloured using the pigment inks that were leftover from the background.

Finally I added some glitter card poinsettias and some crystal stars from my stash!

Enjoy...

    Eh up John
    Quite right, I don't think any of us like to find things floating......Moving swiftly on, a fine looking creation with a superb backdrop.
    Loving the star bling.

    Hi John. Ignoring the snow globe (I am not a fan, sorry) love the atmosphere of this card. It almost reminds me of the Scottish highlands.

    Hello John,
    I really love this card . I love the deer , pleased they are grounded! I'm not a lover of snow globes but this card for me would look just as good with circle Dies! I know I'm a bit odd! Careful Maureen!! Looking forward to seeing masking fluid in action!
    Thanks John,
    Love Myra xx
