CAS Christmas Card Challenge Another Winter Scene

Hi Everyone, I'm hosting CAS Christmas Challenge this month and wanted to sneak in another card before it closes on the 24th of February.

I stamped the little cottage on Kraft card and placed a homemade stencil over the image. I blended Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment ink to create the Christmas ornament, 


Here's a close up of the tree ornament, you can see the snow😏

An old technique revisited

It's so nice when friends start up a discussion about old techniques, and so inspirational.  Thank you Nancy for starting that email thread about pencils and gamsol or blending solution.  I pulled out my box of  Koh-I-Noor pencils and kraft paper and thought about Darnell's NBUS challenge.



Back in the fall friends were visit from the UK, 💡now that's a perfect opportunity to purchase stamps from the UK and Europe and have them brought over hee hee.  Before they arrive I'm trolling the all the online stores and having parcels delivered to them, yes I spent lots of money.  I must admit they were a little surprised by the Brusho's and the warnings that I gave about packing them in their suitcases.  Of course I couldn't resist stopping in at Katzelkraft a french store with a great selection of stamps.  I consider these stamps as NBUS because I have had them since September and this is the first time they have been inked up.
So using my pencils and blender pen I came up with this card-


Both the Zebra and sentiment are by Katzelkraft.  Because I was on a roll I did a second card using another of the stamps from both animal and the sentiment set.  The raindrops are by Designs By Ryn.


I hope you like them
