Christmas Magic Card by November Guest Designer Sybil Brewer

November Guest Designer for Newton's Nook Designs:Sybil Brewer
Hello again Newton’s Nook Friends!
Sybil here popping in today sharing a card that has me reminiscing about my childhood. When I saw the Holiday Home Stamp Set it brought back magical, memories of picking out the “perfect” tree, and my siblings and I decorating it in anticipation of Santa’s arrival!  I tried to convey that same magical feeling with this card.

For my slimline card I started out by adding grey ink onto the Mountains Stencil, creating two rows of mountains. I then added white, modeling paste with a palette knife to the stencil to form peaks, moving the knife about helped create a rough texture. When the paste was dry, I covered the mountains, and colored the night sky with a dark, blue ink.

Once again, I used the versatile, Mountains Stencil, lightly inking the bottom of it to make snow drifts for the rest of the card, doing this, grounds the stamped images that will be added to the scene.

I copic colored the sweet, images from the Holiday Home Stamp Set, and popped them up with dimensional foam, and adhered them to the card. Since I planned on embossing the sentiment, I made sure all the ink on the background was completely dry, & also used a powder tool to prevent the embossing powder from sticking anywhere but to the sentiment. I finished the card by adding snowflakes to the night sky with a gel pen and adding glitter glue to the mountain peaks, the snow drifts, and here and there on the colored images.
