Hi everyone. Several months ago a group of us did a Zoom call and we sponged white onto kraft to create some vintage-style cards. I posted several of the cards HERE, but this one was missed ... so I'm sharing now.
This card uses a beautiful image Country Chapel (Stampscapes), which works so well with this technique. I stamped in Archival Coffee ink (Ranger) and then sponged around the image with white pigment ink, creating sky and hills (using torn masks). I used some diluted white acrylic paint to add more snow to the church and trees and then also splattered to create falling snow. The sentiment (Deco Christmas - Tim Holtz) is stamped in the same ink.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteWow, Loll, this card is so perfectly made that it looks like a store-bought one (in a good way of course)! The way you sponged the sky and snow with white pigment ink is just amazing!
