This is only my fourth Christmas card I have made so far this year which is a bit slow so I need to get a wiggle on and get some made. I decided to try a Winter scene with the Card-io tree stencil I recently bought. I am really pleased with how this turned out. I used chipped sapphire and salty ocean distress oxides. I used it it very lightly around where I wanted the moon to be. I made a circle stencil with acetate and a small circle die and used white ink for the moon.
I added some lines to the tree using a black fineliner pen and created the scene using Card-io stamps. The new texture stamps which I used for the grass are absolutely invaluable and if you like Card-io stamps and haven't bought these I urge you to do so. I am using them a lot as they really add so much to the scene. I used the grass stamp from the set, masking it off in places.

Absolutely love this Marianne … fabulous stencil, brilliant colouring and I agree that grass stamp set is a must have .. I think I must have it !! I don’t have any Card -io stamps but it will work really well also for Lavinia scenes 😀
