Happy Monday!
I've got a peaceful, winter night scape to share with you today featuring lots of ink blending with the "Slim Line Double Tree Line" Stencil set. This is a great scene-building tool because you get both the positive and negative tree line! I also used the "Deer Family" Die Set, which has really well-drawn deer silhouettes - I hate it when animal die cuts don't really look like they are supposed to but the stance and action of these three deer are perfect!
I began by ink blending the sky portion of a white card stock panel measuring 5" x 11" with Distress Oxide Inks - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. This palette leans toward the warm blue side of the spectrum - I didn't want it to look too 'cold'. Using the stencil I began to blend these same inks in a gentle, downward motion to create the forest scene, keeping the lighter value trees in the background and the darker trees toward the front. The images were also staggered to give it a more realistic look and I slightly darkened the tops to highlight the atmospheric perspective. The panel was spritzed with shimmer mist, spattered with white/pearlized paints and set aside to dry.
I applied a thick layer of "Sparkle" Paper Glitz to a heavy white card stock panel and die cut it when dry to create the foreground snowbank. The male deer was die cut from mid-toned grey card stock and accented with a bit of ink blending.
The background panel was trimmed to 9" x 4" and attached to a slimline card base. The moon, snow bank, deer and sentiment were all glued into place and I added a few of the Iridescent "Moonshine" Sequins to finish up this scene.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a great week!
