Welcome to day two of the hop! If you follow me much you know I love to create my winter cards all year long so I was excited to see this beautiful holiday set.
I created a one layer card by stamping the branches randomly at the top and bottom. I sponged TH Broken China Distress ink, added some gems and then flicked white paint on the branches.
For this card I actually DID mix medias but it doesn't look like what we think of as mixed media! The sky beyond the trees was created by water coloring with markers. The deer was colored with pencils and then a paint wash over the top. The cardinal was colored with Copics. To finish off this card I added punched branches beneath the fawn.
Thanks for looking!

Your cards are beautiful. I love the first one the best, it is just stunning. It has the sky with the branches and then it looks like there is snow on the ground. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLike the look the white gives to the branches as in it reminds me of snow. Like the Bambi scene w/ greenery.
