Quite a while ago I had won a gift certificate to Serendipity Stamps and had fun shopping, but then had never gotten around to using the stamps I bought! So anyway, perfect timing to pull out the Winter Fenceline stamp to create my Winter scene...
I started by blending my background with Salty Ocean, Worn Lipstick, & Stormy Sky DOX inks and then splattering lightly with white acrylic paint. Once dry, I stamped my fenceline image in Versafine Black Onyx ink and then die cut using a Lil Inkers Rectangle Stitched die. Before attaching to my card base, I stamped the "Peace" portion of my sentiment (PTI's Think Big Favorites: #21) and then sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz.
Here's a closer up where you can kind of see the sparkle better. Before attaching to my card base I added the rest of the sentiment ("on earth") and then added my stamped panel that I backed with some foam for a little added dimension.
One more for my Christmas stash, and I think I'm getting pretty close to being done! Now if I can just get them all addressed and signed and actually mailed out before Christmas!! Check out all the absolutely GORGEOUS Winter Scene cards from the DT, and then play along right HERE. This challenge is open till the 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Love this Marcia. Fab colours. Been trying to source Serendipity stamps in the UK for a couple of years now as the $33.95 postage costs would see off my bank balance!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a serene scene, Marcia - just love your blended background!! The "snow" and shimmer add the perfect touches!!
ReplyDeleteAS much as I love to get Christmas cards made ahead of the rush, I truly am not looking forward to Winter - your Winter scene is gorgeous, however! Fabulous sky, Marcia!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty sunset and peaceful scene, Marcia! Love that shimmer too. I bought a bottle of it during the summer and keep forgetting to use it. Thanks for the reminder. And thanks for sharing this with us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSerene indeed, Marcia ... what a fabulous scene! The blending of those soft colours is gorgeous ... and the simple line art stamping allows it to glow (and sparkle) in all it's glory! Hugs, Anita :)
