Snow Family

I had a bit of a festive crafting session yesterday afternoon, and made three more Christmas cards for the pile...the first one features a cute snow family from the Prairie Fairy. I coloured them using watercolour pencils, then added some sparkle to the snow using a Wink of Stella pen. Inspired by the gorgeous colour combination on 'Turquoise & Lilac' for this week's Less is More challenge...I used Distress Inks in those colours (Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord & Wilted Violet) 'smooshed' on to my craft mat to create the 'sky' background. I then heat embossed my Simon Says Stamp 'Falling Snow' stamp using WOW 'Sparkling Snow' powder, and laid it behind the snow family. I matted it all on to some purple card, then added a sentiment from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous.

    What a lovely scene you have created, Helen! I love the distress ink colours you have used to create the sky and all of the touches of lilac and turquoise that you have used in hats and scarves. Thank you for playing along with us at Less is More :)
