Clarity Stamps Challenge 9 - Christmas





I made the aperture with the new arch stencil.
The sky was inked using the stencil brush and a hill mask in Denim
with a bit of Lettuce at the bottom to give it a glow!
I then stamped on the church, houses, lamp post, well and geese 
where I wanted them, added denim to create shadows.
Used a torn piece of paper and tumbled glass to 
create the snow covered slopes.
Coloured items in with various promarkers.
Added s small star with gold embossing powder.
I used a fine nib black pen to free draw the stones to make the archway,
then used the holly and ivy stamps to trail around the outside.
Coloured the bricks, wall and ivy with promarkers.
Put glossy accents on the berries and glamour dust on the frosty hills.
Thank you for looking.

I am trying to enter the Lavinia stamps challenge 
for the first time with the above card.
The sun is distress ink Mustard Seed using a Clarity stamps stencil 
with added detail using Adirondack Mountain Rose.
I then stamped Lavinia's Flower Fairy in Memento black.
The bottom of the card is the Lavinia  Bluebells stamp
in first and second generation Mountain Rose ink.  
I then used ink dusters to take the whiteness of the card away with
Mountain Rose.  I added liquid pearls and glamour dust to the fairy's
wings.
