Winter children

I have another brayered card today, using the same technique as this card. It is a winter version of an autumn scene I did a while ago, using the same silhouette stamp.


The scene is done on glossy cardstock and brayered with dye inks. First, the moon was masked and then Memento Summer Sky was brayered over the cardstock. Then the following inks were applied to the card: Adirondack Stonewashed, Memento Danube Blue, Adirondack Denim, always leaving some of the previous colour showing. For the ground, I used torn pieces of paper as masks and brayered the inks on top to create subtle heaps of snow. After removing the mask from the moon, I sponged a bit of Summer Sky on top of it, because it looked too white. The Pine Bough was stamped at the bottom of the card in both black ink and white pigment ink. Dots were added with a white gel pen and the ‘halos’ around the dots with white pigment ink.

Thank you for stopping by!!
