Morning all!
I'm back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with some firm favourites from The Greetery's festive back catalogue.
This combination of supplies is one I revisit every year and well, it's time for the 2024 edition!
Stamps: The Greetery - Sentiment Suite: Christmas
Dies: Pinkfresh Studio - Essentials: Ornate Banner, The Greetery - Frosty Pines
Stencils: The Greetery - Stencil Scapes: Winter
The Stencil Scapes Winter set is a 6-step layering scene builder that allows you to use just 6 colours of ink, or go in with detail blending brushes to add even more variety to the colour palette.
I personally love using pink for the sky and a light blue for the icy lake, and mainly used the Shader +1 single- and double-ended brushes from Waffle Flower for the other areas on these stencils.
The Waffle Flower Grip Mat was also great for holding everything in place as I worked.
Once the background was done, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sentiment Suite Christmas set and then grabbed an outline die from my stash to cut an aperture into the stencilled background to frame the scene dimensionally when sticking it onto my card base.
To finish off the card, I grabbed the coordinating Frosty Pines dies, which contain two pine trees in the same style as the Winter landscape. The dies also contain cut marks to easily cut apart the areas you can use as snow, so I just ran the branch dies through my machine again with white glitter paper for maximum sparkle.
There are also two little bunnies in the die set that go over the stencilled bunnies in the scene and just finish off the look nicely.
For extra wintry sparkle, I added Glossy Accents to all the flower centres and berries.
All in all, a really relaxing card make for the busy cardmaking season.
Until next time, happy crafting!
