Snowflake Grove - A new release from Purple Onion Designs

Hello,



Today's the day that all POD fans have been awaiting for - A new release from Stacey Yacula is available. The new release is called The Snowflake Grove and currently you can get the whole release just $100 until 11/4/2015 or you can buy your favourites separately.  I had tons of fun with these stamps and I'll be sharing my examples within next two weeks. 

For my first card I used Birch House stamp and when I saw it for the first time it figured that if there was a house at the North Pole, that is what it would look like. Since Christmas cards are usually sent in bulk, I tried to keep the design simple enough to be easy to reproduce. 


Stamps used: Birch House and Handwritten Holiday.

First, I coloured the base layer with copic markers that I have listed below in the supplies list. Then I added a bit of details with Faber-Castell Polychromo Coloured Pencils. I blended the sky with ink blending tool and used Distress Inks for blending. I let it dry completely and the I used a stencil to create the snowflakes. I stamped through the stencil with Versamark and then heat embossed the snowflakes with a white glitter embossing powder. They look really neat. I added the snow on the ground with the same technique but used my Versamark pen for it. The die cut panel is popped up with fun foam.
