2020 Christmas Countdown | Day 16 (Peace & Love)

Morning!

Today’s card is a bit of a throwback.

It’s the winter version of a card I made back in May using leftovers from that same project:

Peace & Love - Christmas Countdown Day 16 - koolkittymusings.typepad.com

Stamps: PTI – Brushed Birds, WPlus9 – Most Wonderful
Die: PTI – Brushed Birds, Sizzix – Tim Holtz – Holiday Greens
Other: Distress Oxides

Peace & Love - Christmas Countdown Day 16 - koolkittymusings.typepad.com

The only difference here is that I flipped the layout, used a festive sentiment, and used a different combination of Distress Oxides for the sky.

Plus a white pen added great snow highlights to the branch and to bring out snowflakes in the sky where the misted background isn’t so clear. It tends to get a bit hazy over Distress Oxides I’ve found.

For extra festive sparkle I also added some Wink of Stella on the darker teal parts of the birds.

It’s such a simple card design, but I love how versatile it will be by simply changing the ink colours for the background and the birds.

Happy crafting, until next time!

    I was wondering…can you come over and teach me how to make those incredible backgrounds?! You’ve blown me away. And for a minute, I thought you might’ve picked up a few spruce branches from outside. They look sooooo life-like. Your use of the white gel pen has given them such dimension. I love this card. It’s simply amazing. Seriously though…you should come over! Stay safe. Bev
