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.
