Hello all! Kia here with you today to share this card where I used Distress Oxide Inks and Penny Black stamps to make a cute scene.
For several days now I have wanted to use the Birches stamp to make a fun card for Winter, so for the fun I dug out the Winter Wonderland set.
I am using Neenah 110lb Solar Crest card stock for this card, with no layers.
To start, I stamped the Birches using VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne. As the trees are close together I masked off the area that I did not want stamped.
Masking off the trees I then stamped the little mouse along with the hill portion of the stamp, again using the Nocturne ink.
In order to blend on the inks, I covered the mouse and trees with the Masking Fluid and added splatters of the fluid for snow us.
For this purpose I used an older paint brush that I first dipped in liquid dish detergent to ensure the masking does not damage the bristles. Once covered in the detergent rub the bristles between your hands to ensure you have them well covered. Once finished, wash the brush again with the liquid dish detergent and rinse well. The detergent does not harm the Masking Fluid.
It does not take the Masking Fluid long to dry, and once it did I began to add my layers of Distress Oxide ink, starting by masking the bottom of the card and brushing on with Salty Ocean ink. I then flipped the mask and brushed on the Squeezed Lemonade, adding it lighter to the hills.
Continuing with the blending I added the Carved Pumpkin, then the Candied Apple.
When I finished with the ink blending I removed the Masking Fluid, which can be done with a Rubber Pick up or your fingers.
I extended the hill on both sides using a Sharpie, then proceeded to colour the Mouse and Birch Trees with my Copics, and added Midas Touch Shimmering Pen to the scarf, the heart in the tree and some of the snow drops.
To finish I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair ink in Paradise.
I hope you have enjoyed my card today. Following are Affiliate links to the products I used today, at no cost to you.
