Snowy Cabin - Stampin' Up!® Woodland Scenery

   My local stampers got inky last week at class with a fun night sky/snowy cabin card.  We had fun using blending brushes, paint pens and a tiny bit of fussy cutting to bring this scene to life. They were a little leery at first but they trusted the process (and themselves) and created one of a kind winter skies.  The Woodland Scenery stamp set is so cute and I've loved working with it for my Christmas cards this year.

  I was inspired to design this card after seeing this card from Michelle Zindorf who is a master at ink blending and brayering.  I changed up the layout and colors but the techniques are all hers and the end results are so cute!

  This one starts with a piece of Lights of Aurora DSP on the card base front to add even more "winter night sky feel" to the card.  The scene is built upon a Textured Notes die panel in Basic White.  I wanted a bit of detail to frame out the scene.  It's backed with a slightly larger piece of Basic White.

  I used Highland Heather, Azure Afternoon and Gorgeous Grape for the sky.  The trees and sentiment are stamped in Blackberry Bliss.  The cabin, smoke and sled are stamped in Secret Sea.  The cabin is the only piece that is fussy cut

  The snow is just 3 different sizes of white Posca markers dotted over the inked sky.  I used the fine tip marker to add detail to the stamped smoke as well. Lemon Lolly light Blends marker is used to color the cabin window for a nice cheery glow.

  A few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems are added to the sky for a final detail.  And I think this would be a great Happy New year card with a quick change of sentiment too!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

All of the supplies used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
