October Rudolph Days

It's that time of the month when the Rudolph Days challenge is open.  You have from 25th until the end of each month to enter the challenge.

My card this time is using a set of Card-io stamps, 'Christmas Scenery 3'.  

I saw this set of stamps being demonstrated recently, using a technique with a  dry baby wipe and your finger to apply ink and it works really well to make snow drifts.  The images were all stamped with an 'Onyx' Versafine ink pad.  The falling snow is Stampendous 'Chunky White Embossing Enamel'. I love the effect of the enamel as it gives a lovely texture, but it is so hard to melt it exactly where you want it as it moves around easily, so I need lots more practise using this product!!  I added some Glamour Dust along the edges of the snowdrifts to give them some sparkle.

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:
October Rudolph Days Challenge ~ Make a Christmas card
Lisa B Designs Monthly Challenge ~ Stamped Christmas Scenes

  6. Fabulous card, the inking technique has worked really well. I find it easiest to heat from underneath when I use the embossing enamels.

    1. I held the heat gun underneath, but couldn't stop the granules moving. Perhaps I just need a steadier hand, Sue! LOL! xx

  7. A beautiful snowy scene!! Love the shading on here too. I have some of the Frantage also and yes, it's so hard for me to get it on without it blowing all over the room. You did a great job with this Liz!

  14. Lovely scene Liz. I haven't heard of this baby wipe method, but it definitely creates terrific snow drifts. The embossing enamel add so much fantastic texture!

  17. Ah, love that falling snow...I never can get this 'frantage' stuff to work so nicely as you did here. Love your sponged snow shadows, and the way you've tucked in the dark silhouettes of the village houses. Great design, and wonderful execution of it! TFS & Hugs
