Winter Forest Fairies card

Hello Crafty Friends!

Winter is in full swing in Nova Scotia.  On Saturday we bought our snowblower and on Sunday we were able to use the new toy.  I am used to shoveling as it is nice to take in the winter air and get some exercise...but seeing the snowblower quickly move the snow was nice, too.  :)

To celebrate the start of snow season, I created a winter card using the Quietfire Design stamp, Deep Within the Winter Forest:

The card background was created using various blue, green and grey Dylusions sprays on mixed media paper.  After drying it was cut size and a moon was added using Distress Paint in Picket Fence.  The moon dried and then the quote was stamped using Archival Ink in Jet Black.

Next, I randomly stamped snowflakes from Quietfire Design stamp sets (such as Winter Wonderland and Let It Snow) using Distress Paint in Picket Fence.  Additional snow was created using The Tim Holtz Spritzer tool and a Picket Fence Distress Marker. 

The snow ground cover was created using white tissue paper (adhered using a glue stick) and Stickles.

This 5x5 card will be given to a good friend of mine who adores fairies.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a happy, crafty day!
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo
