A Wintry Scene for Country View Crafts
Rachel has chosen Wintry Scenes for the January Challenge at Country View Crafts Challenges on FaceBook. I had great fun with two of the Tim Holtz dies to create the picture and with the distress watercolor pencils and some distress inks and spritz to get the depth and perspective.
Die cut 2 tree lines and glue them onto card stock overlapping a second part beneath the first layer.
Take the paints, using a brush with plenty of clean water, use the paints like watercolours to create a sky. With a small piece of sponge dab the colours over the trees to fill in any gaps on the overlap and to make it look like a cold, misty morning. Dry that and splatter white to create snowfall.
Using white card cut a slope of snow, using a paint brush apply texture paste lightly over it to make it look like snow laying on the ground. Splatter with chipped sapphire DI and adhere to the bottom of the card.
Cut the birch trees from white card and give them a coat of white paint.
Play with the DIs, DOs and watercolor pencils to make the birch trees more realistic and cut into them to create 3 individual ones.
Add some watery brown DI to some gaps between the trees, paint some spritz over the tops of the trees too and add more sponged white paint to keep the look of snow. Dry.
..... and then glue the birch trees on the panel.
Finish by using a stick to paint in some dried grasses.
One wintry scene complete.
Ink the edges, add a sentiment and make it into a card.
