Deer in the Snow...

Happy Friday,

Today is the second day of the NEC craft show It was so lovely to meet so many of my blog family yesterday and I am looking forward to welcoming more crafters into the John Next Door family today!  Pop along and say Hi if you are going I am on stand G45 next to the Hochanda studio.

Today's card is another using all the techniques and products I will be demonstrating.

I made the centre panel using then heart shaped media plate and a mix of Izink Pigment and Dye based ink pads.  We have a new mini version of the ink pads available at the show which I have loved playing with as they are so easy with the media plates.

I stamped the snowflakes over the background and added snow with my quarto snow and stars mask.  I then stamped the deer and the pine tree silhouette stamps over this.  I then added acetate over this which I had added white gel pen to to add the snow before adding the layers in white, gold and letterpresses gold embossed card.

I cut the find it media pine trees in black and added them at the bottom corner of the set of frames I had made up to reflect and balance the trees on the centre panel.


I added another piece of snow acetate behind this before adding to the layers of white black and gold to make up the card.



Enjoy...

    Beautiful card, John. The snow effect looks great. I so much enjoyed seeing these cards at the NEC yesterday. As I said to you, they're so much more beautiful in real life! Hope you have a successful day. xxx

    Hi John. Lovely snowy scene today. I have learned something new too as I didn't know white gel pens would work on acetate. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi John this is a stunning card I do love those stamps. I am looking forward to coming to the NEC on Sunday I am a bit worried that lots of things will be sold out and that everyone will be tired. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie

    Eh up John
    I love these stag stamps as a stag is not just for Christmas (there is a joke about it lasting till New Year if you carve it thinly but I won't go there lol!!!).
    The feedback on the mini inks I have sold has been very good.....juicy little pads and great for storage or taking to workshops.
    A tip for the "snow" if your white gel pen ran out, like mine did......Tippex pen!
    Enjoy day two.

    Hello John,
    What a beautiful card. I love everything about it and I really MUST try to improve my stamping which I am not very good at.
    Hope you are enjoying the nec, such a big place isn't it.
