Hello Peeps! I've got two cards for you today made from one background panel. I made a full snowy sky panel then decided I could get double the mileage out of it by cutting it with the Stitched Snow Hills die and pairing it with white card.
Once I'd cut the card I lined one half up on white card to get the die in exactly the same position before cutting.
That gave me one panel with a low horizon which would work well with branches and one panel with a high horizon which would work well as a hill.
For the low horizon, I stamped some twig images from Deepti's Wooded set. I added snowy highlights on the branches with a white Posca paint pen, which you can see on the finished card.
I stamped and coloured an owl from Big Owls and a hat from Baa Baa, fussy cut them and sat the owl on the branches. I added a few snowflakes with the Posca pen to give a bit more depth of field, and finished the card off with a gold Merry Christmas diecut.
The next card is self-explanatory. The sleigh image is from Joyful.
Here's another look at the two cards together. I hope I've inspired you to get more mileage out of your backgrounds when you're making your Christmas cards.
When you're shopping in the store, why not treat yourself and choose your own freebie? Details below.
Lovely designs to get two cards from one panel.
