Christmas cards


It's difficult to see in these photos  But I have used an embossing folder which embosses a pretty frame into the card. the frame is not very big  at all which has meant I ve had to create some mini images to fit within the frame. If you need a closer look click on the image and you should get a larger picture pop up.
These tiny images are very quick to create so you can make a few in next to no time.

I cut my card to  1   3/4   x  2   3/4  inches. I blended a little yellow ink across the middle and then a little melon mambo and real red along to top. Then I took a piece of waste rubber cut roughly to look like a mountain ridge.   ( The waste rubber was saved from sets that you had to cut the rubber stamp images out before mounting them onto the wood blocks) 

Then I stamped a pale lilac mountain range  across the middle. I stamped a few lilac conifers along the base of the mountains, then stamped some  moss green conifers in front of  the lilac trees. I stamped the tiny deer in black then finished off the image by adding some foliage in the foreground and brushed in a few snow drifts to ground the trees and the deer.




I only used a black memento ink pad, a yellow and moss green pad to create this one.
Streak of yellow across the middle using a blending brush. 
The grey  in the sky and the drifts were created  with a blending brush used for black ink 
 
 


 I'm not a fan of lots of  bulky die cut foliage on cards, so I stamped three types of foliage  in three different greens for the base then just added some embossed die cut berries and a couple of  fussy cut holly  leaves with berries, Then finished off with a small bow.
