Today, Design Team member Karen Telfer gets to grips with our new Floral Wreath stamp to create a lovely circular frame for out cute little rabbits frolicking in a snowy scene
The Steps in creating “Friends in the Snow”

-
- The gorgeous floral wreath stamp lends itself beautiful to a circular design on this card. Here I stamped it three times using Versafine Clair – warm breeze. These ink pads help give a nice crisp clean image.
-
- I then roughly tore a piece of paper to give a wavy edge for the undulating hillside.
-
- Using a smoothie and broken china, I gently brushed the edge of the paper to create the hills. I moved the paper in different ways to get a textured effect.
-
- I then used the same technique with a darker colour – chipped sapphire – for added contrast and depth.
-
- I smudged some festive berries distress oxide onto my mat.
-
- I dipped my paint brush into some water and then using the coloured ink, I painted in the berries all the way around the wreath. Depth can be created on the berries by re-applying the ink a second or third time.
-
- Using the small floral stamp from the floral wreath set, I stamped images all around the wreath using the festive berries ink pad.
-
- Using a fan brush, I splattered the top of the card with chipped sapphire that I had watered down.
-
- I cut the card into a circle and mounted it onto a red and then white card. Voila
Till next time…
