Pastel Yuletide Village card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I am loving the Yuletide Village stamp set and have used it again to create a Pastel Yuletide Village Christmas card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the pastel yuletide village card, you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pebbled Path card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using Pebbled Path ink, I stamped the single house in the centre of the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card.

I added the church to the right and the pair of houses to the left with the same ink. Finally, I stamped the brick wall in front of the pair of houses.

The sentiment, from the Reindeer Fun stamp set was stamped at the bottom of the same panel using the same Pebbled Path ink.

The images were coloured in using the following Blends Pens – Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate & Pebbled Path. Love how these building look coloured in pastel shades.

I covered the ‘snowy’ areas with a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and covered it with Dazzling Diamonds, sadly retired….so pretty.

The stamped and coloured panel was then glued to the piece of Pebbled Path card and the whole piece was then mounted onto the Petal Pink card front on Dimensionals.

Such a pretty card.

Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink.  I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.

The finished piece was added to the Shaded Spruce panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I think this is so pretty but if I am honest doesn’t look all that bleak…….. What do you think?
