Hello, Creatives!
Welcome to the fortnight challenge at Shopping Our Stash!
The theme for this challenge is "Winter Wonderland."
Create a "Winter Landscape" or Create "An All White Card"
I have been looking for a project that would allow me to use my new fairy house stamps. My original idea was to create an entire village, but my first attempt at that was a major fail. I decided to settle on a few houses scattered along a hillside.
Snowy Village
The little house stamps are new. Everything else is from my stash!
I found a wonderful process video by Heidi_The Yorkshire Crafter on YouTube. Her environment was exactly what I wanted for my village. I would have loved to add at least one more house but the scene would have been too crowded. Next time I think I will try creating an 8" x 8" card!
Once again, I created my own masks/stencils for this project using "Banltre" Milky Mylar Sheets. The one fun change for me when creating this project was using black cardstock for my base. It worked better than I imagined.
Best compliment ever, The Hubster said that he liked my hilly path to the mountain. I should have made my edges a little darker, but I can live with this.
I plan to continue building scenes until I feel comfortable with my ability to create good perspectives. I have gotten better and there are tons of videos on YouTube that are super helpful! On this project, I had another opportunity to combine Pan Pastels with Distress Oxides, Metallic Colored Pencils, and Pastel Pencils. I am slowly working my way back to using my Gelli Plate.
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to seeing your Winter Wonderland creation!
Hugz,
