I love creating little scenes so there was really no doubt what I'd being doing on this one. I used that small box for my entire scene!
I sponged on three Distress Oxides - Mustard Seed, Tumbled Glass and Broken China. Then I spritzed it with a glimmer mist and let the Distress Oxides do their thing. I built a little church with some frosty trees around it (although my short little bush was ill-conceived - it looks like seaweed!) I needed a strip of paper down the side per the sketch and I tried dozens. I really didn't have any intent to go black and white but I like the more modern feel. For the sentiment, I thought a simple "joy" said it all!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

Kim this is gorgeous! You totally aced the sketch. I really love the background too, and I really must give those distress oxides a try.
ReplyDeleteThis is an elegant beauty, Kim. Your inking is gorgeous and I love the striped panel.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Kim! I love the scene you've created, and your inky background is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYou're not going to believe this, but this is what my church looks like. A little white church with a steeple on top of its (non belled) bell tower! I'm obviously in love with this Christmas card, and the simple sentiment is perfect for your sweet card. I'm going to have to try some glimmer mist, now! Love what it did for your little scene. Wonderful card!! Bev
