Hi y'all! It has been a really busy week here, with chorale dress rehearsal and then two concerts over the weekend. Between all of that I have been working on Christmas spinning and knitting. I've finished Mila's hat and have about half of James' done too. Looks like I'm gonna need to spin a little more green yarn before I can knit his green and white stripes. I'm really getting impatient to get them finished, and when they're done I'll mail them so that they can open them early and get some good wear from them this winter.
I had seen variations of these (what I'll call a sort of Dutch Door card) on Pinterest, and since then the idea for this card has been kinda simmering in the background. I had made a vertical half-front card about a month ago, so it was only logical to make a horizontal one too. I just had to find the right stamps and dies, and I think these are perfect for it!
I used the trees die from our Country Church stamp/die set to die cut the trees from the card front, and used scissors to snip the rest of the card front away. Diluted white acrylic paint scraped along the edges of the card stock and tree branches give the illusion of accumulated snow.
The star was stamped with Memento ink, colored with Copic markers, given glittering accents with a clear Wink of Stella glitter marker and a sparkling jewel center.
