Let these be my most intricate, time-consuming Christmas cards of 2022! I don't know why I do this to myself! These cards took FOREVER! Though I am pleased with the results :).
I started out by wanting to create a pinkish winter sky with the Stencilscapes Winter from The Greetery. I had seen something similar from Angelica Conrad on the design team and chose my own colour palette of Saltwater Taffy + Tattered Rose + Cracked Pistachio + Pine Needles + Ground Espresso + Lumberjack Plaid distress oxide ink.
When stencilling, I decided to leave out the trees as I knew that I wanted to add in the coordinating die cuts trees. I die cut double layers for each tree and then sprayed one set with the Merry Mint distress mica spray. I ended up letting them dry for a few days so that the colour was really set.
Next, I trimmed the other set of trees so that just the top layer of snow was left and added them on top of my sprayed trees. Then I adhered these to the card base in the tree positions and cut off the overhang.
Finally, to finish off the cards, I added in some white snow spatters - I really need to work on this technique! I used the Tagged Elegance set to add a sentiment to the top of my scene.
