Monochrome Christmas Card for Spellbinders

Hello friends, I'm back with another card featuring products from the Spellbinders/Simon Hurley release, Joyful Christmas. There are a lot of fun techniques on this card and I created a fence using the Candy Stripes die, as well. Stay with me for a few creative details below!

I decided to create a winter monochromatic theme with sepia overtones. To begin, I created a wintry sky with my Ranger Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo on a white card panel for this A2 size card. Just tear some thin computer paper or tablet paper and ink blend above the edges. Vary the torn strips and drop down about 1 1/2 to 2 inches between each "cloud". 

I made a quick 1 minute YouTube video a few years ago to show how this is done. You can view that here: Torn Paper Clouds Video on Youtube

I stamped and die cut the deer from the Winter Woodland Stamp/Die Bundle, then colored with Copic Markers.  My sentiment was inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo and I embellished the wording with a white gel pen.

I hand cut my snowy slope and ink blended a "path", also using Vintage Photo ink. Next, I splattered white acrylic paint all over my scene and deer.

My fence was created using the Candy Stripes die cut on kraft paper with my Spellbinders Platinum 6. It was folded in half, glued, then trimmed to fit the dimensions of my card. I saved some of the larger negative pieces and tore the top edges to make posts for my fence. I also used a black marker and white gel pen to make "nails". 

I have a short reel on Instagram, talking about the fence, that you can view here.

I love extending the use of my dies and finding other ways to use them. I'll definitely be making more fences in the future! I'm so glad that you stopped by.
