A Winter Wonderland

 

Hello, friends!

Ericka here, bringing you a serene and peaceful winter card to close out the year. There’s something magical about winter landscapes, and today I’m sharing a design inspired by snowy days and quiet woods, featuring the beautiful Winter Butterflies sentiment along with some smaller, whimsical stamps.

Once the background dried, I stamped the Winter Butterflies sentiment, Snowflake, and Holly Snowflake Swirl using Versafine Clair Twilight ink, then clear embossed them for added depth and shine.

To bring the scene to life, I stamped the Spruce Tree in Versafine Clair Rain Forest and the Buck and Doe in Pinecone ink. These natural tones add an earthy touch, balancing the soft shimmer of the background.

For that extra touch of winter magic, I used a white gel pen to add “snow” to the stamped images and sentiment, creating the look of little snowdrifts piling on tree branches and the forest floor. It’s a simple detail that makes the scene feel so much more alive. To complete the card, I added a hint of elegance with some gold stitching—a subtle shimmer that ties everything together and gives the design a polished, festive feel.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you’re enjoying these final few days of 2024, soaking up all the wintery wonder and warmth of the season. Here’s to a creative and joyful year ahead!

Happy crafting,
Ericka ❄️✨
