Sweet Sunday....Winter Night




Happy Sunday Peeps!!


Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:



I turned the sketch on its side, so I could use this new set from Stampin Up called White Christmas.
I love all the sweet little images in this set. I decide to do a pretty night scene and use this fun little reindeer image along with the trees. I stamped the trees and then the deer and masked off the bottom of the card that I wanted to remain white and also the deer and then sponged the top part with a sponge dauber and my lost lagoon ink pad.
I then used soft suede and chocolate chip ink with my aqua painter to color in the tree and reindeer.
I then used my white gel pen to add the falling snow and the snow on the trees.


I added a vellum crescent moon and then used my Wink of Stella pen to add lots of sparkle to the snow and the moon. The pic does not capture the sparkle. 
The base of the card is Chocolate Chip card stock and the next layer is some DSP from the Under the Tree Specialty Pack. The small strip comes from the same pack of DSP and the main image is matted with Lost Lagoon and Chocolate Chip card stock.

No room for a sentiment, which is HARD for me, but I still think it is cute so I guess it alright to not have a sentiment on the occasional card. 



Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:
