A snowy scene

Christmas may be 10 months away but with the weather we're having right now fits perfectly with the festive season!  There's snow in the forecast again - we missed the last lot (only by a mile or two though) but it's sooooo cold!

My DT card for Christmas at Sweet Stampin' this month was inspired by the weather and the fact that we're seeing so many deer out in the open in the middle of the day, something that wouldn't normally be the case here.



I die cut a stitched rectangle from Neenah card and then cut the Memory Box deer scene into the top portion of the cardstock. I stamped a Wplus9 sentiment underneath the image in Versafine black ink.

I cut another piece of white card, masked off a snowy layer using post it tape and ink blended blue Distress inks to create my background.  I diluted a drop of white acrylic paint and splattered this onto the cardstock to create a snowy scene.   I found some matching blue DP in my scrap box and cut a rectangle to fit the card base.  I adhered the ink blended panel behind the die cut image once the paint was dry then popped the whole thing up on some craft foam.  A few enamel drops completed the card.

Our challenge theme at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' is always "Anything Goes at Christmas" so why not take advantage of the wintry weather and stay indoors and craft. My teamies have made the most lovely inspiration projects, so do check them out here.

Hope you can play along!
