Tis The Season

Yes, better get started on my Christmas cards now so I can also be in the spirit to decorate around the house. My three teenage kids would be laughing at me if I got my Christmas decorations out too early, but I heard that two months in advance is O.K! For this card, I put to practice what I learnt from Jennifer Rzasa and Debby Hughes; stamping the tree in ombre inking and using the Woodgrain Bark specialty paper as a border. It's my first time using this Modern Fox stamp set, and I'm impressed by the result, the strokes on the tree stamp gave it depth and such a realistic look. Needless to say, the fox was a three-step simple layering process and was the main attraction. I didn't have the word dies to create the textured background, so I stretched my products and used the Small Moments stamp and die instead. Scene cards are quite challenging for me, but this turned out to be a sweet surprise, a beautiful Christmas with natural surrounding and sparkling snowflakes effects
