Winter Village Card

Hello from designer, Heidi! I was thinking of an idyllic Christmas morning scene when I made this card, but it really could be used all winter long, OR you could start a stash for next year!

I masked off the building in this scene and then sponged a wintery sky using Distress Oxide inks in Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar. I sprayed the background with water to get texture. I then added some depth to the black stamped lines by adding some black marker on some of the trees. This makes some trees appear more toward the foreground and some more in the background.

I colored the buildings with markers and then added plenty of glitter glue to depict the snow. I also added some white gel pen snowflakes.
