Winter Church Scene Card

Hello friends, I'm back from a short break with this card featuring products from Erin Lee Creative. I fell in love with the Winter Church Scene Stencil Set that was from one of her newer releases recently. Obviously, I had to have it! I also used the Joy to the World die set for my sentiment. 

Change up the sentiment and this wintry scene can easily pass as a post-holiday thank you card! I'm already building my Christmas card stack for Christmas 2024 though. Scroll down for creative details, plus I'll also have my supply list linked at the end of this post if you'd like to shop.

There are 7 stencils included in this set, to create a winter scene. I would suggest you number each stencil in the order that you plan to use them. I used a variety of Ranger Inks and Catherine Pooler inks, as the color combinations were complimentary for what I was going for. For instance, my Catherine Pooler inks had the right shade of green for the trees whereas, my Ranger Ink included the colors I needed for the night sky. Use what you have! I also used blender brushes with my inking.

Here's the breakdown of colors used for my A2 sized card:

Church lights -Ranger Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink

Church Building - CP Pebble and Hoodie gray ink

Church Roof/Tree Trunk - Ranger Ink Ground Espresso Distress Ink

Night Sky Ink blending- Ranger Ink Prize Ribbon distress ink

Ranger Ink Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink 

My snow was stenciled onto my trees using Scrapbookcom Cloud Whip (with a palette knife) which gave a a bit of dimension. I let it dry naturally but you can use a craft heat tool to speed up the process. Dry carefully though, as the paste could possibly bubble up.

I also splattered on Ranger Ink white heavy acrylic paint for the snow in the sky. Look closely and you might even see a comet or two!

For my moon, I used a circle punch on printer paper. I dabbed in some white pigment ink with a large dauber, using the negative punched area on the paper as a stencil. I also used a water brush to drag some of the pigment ink across the moon, blotting the wet area with a paper towel for a cloudy look.

My die cut sentiment was created using some holographic papers from a pad I had in my stash, but Erin Lee has a lovely selection in her shop, here. I cut 3 sentiments and glued them together for more dimension. The outline die was cut with black cardstock and it's popped up on adhesive foam.
