Moonlight deer

Happy New Year!!

It's good to be back with the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown in 2022.

A slightly slow start due to covid visiting us over Christmas, and still making itself felt, but here's my first card, using the sketch Andreja L has set for the week.

I have rotated the sketch for my card.

The moon was made with an outer mask then a small gel plate with grey ink, splattered with water. I love the way this turned out!

The sky uses a Lavinia stencil and stormy sky oxide ink (both Christmas presents!). The mask inner was used.

The background trees are a Clarity mask, with iced spruce, bundled sage and old paper oxides.

I overstamped with archival inks and Lavinia stamps.

The die cuts are Tim Holtz (the tree) and Tattered Lace (the deer). I smooshed oxide onto them to colour them.

The sentiment is from an old set, stamped in archival, blue then grey the black at the bottom (using a stamping platform).

And black soot oxide blended round the edge, then black archival swiped on the edges, to frame.

 

 

This is what I think of as a very Lavinia style card, despite using a range of products. Lots of depth from the layers. It's good to be off the mark!
