Hi everyone, with 3 sleeps to go before Christmas I hope that everyone is on track with their shopping, cooking,etc and can now sit back relax and enjoy.
Today I would like to share with you one of the last Christmas cards I will be making for this year. I am loving the clean and simple lines of this and have incorporated a new technique called "Ombre" which is a hot trend at the moment around crafting circles. Ombre means a colour gradient going from light to dark and or dark to light.
For my background sky I have used Tim Holtz distress stamps, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans and for the foreground I have used Shabby Shutters, Crushed Olive and Forrest Moss. What is exciting about these are that they are a new preorder at Bizzy Becs online store and you can order them right here.
Also used are Memory Box Dies 'Joy' and 'Precious Snowflake'. Memory Box dies together with a fabulous assortment of dies are available for preorder in store here.
I have used Diamond Dust on the snowflake and have flicked Dr PH Martins Pen White onto the background to represent snow. Not that we have snow where I live but thought it looked pretty.
The trees are stamped with one of my favourite Stampin Up stamps 'Lovely as a tree' and I have embossed them with white embossing powder to create a silhouette effect.
I am also entering my card into a challenge currently being run at STAMPlorations 'stamping &and silhouettes'.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
Happy crafting
Karen
