WINTER VILLAGE

Morning Everyone,

I hope you've all had a good Christmas.  We had a quiet day yesterday so I was pleased to get back in the craft room and finish off this card which I have been making on and off for at least a week.  With Christmas preparations and such small die cuts it seems to have taken ages.

It is a Honey Bee stamp set called Winter Village and some of the pieces are so tiny it puts me off making it again in a hurry, but we'll see.  I've torn some oddments of white hammered cardstock to look like snowy hillocks and added the houses and church.  The church looks a bit on a slope in the photo but it doesn't seem that bad in real life.  The sky was a scrap from my 'blue' box and all the buildings are made from snippets.

This is a pic of just some of the snippets used after die cutting.  There is a lot but, because they are so small, I'm afraid it doesn't use up much of my snippets mountain just some of my patience glueing them all together!  I've added snow by way of watering down and splattering white pigment ink with a paint brush.  This was a bit risky for me as you never know how it's going to come out so I had to be extra careful.  The sentiment is stamped in silver metallic ink and is from a Simon Says stamp set.
