Elegant Pine Snowflakes Rustic Christmas – Variations of a Card Sketch

Today’s share is one of the four projects I shared on a recent Facebook Live. For this session, I took just ONE of the 120 Card Sketch variations in my Design Spark sketchbook, and used that to create four different designs.

I used the slimline variation of Sketch #22 for my inspiration:

For today’s share, I’m using the Delicate Pines stamp and die set, paired with the Country Woods papers for a rustic effect:

Stamping on printed paper? Yes, please! This technique looks particularly stunning on these wood prints.

I just love this combination of pine boughs, snowflakes, wood, and a touch of sparkle.

Now those snowflakes are stamped with an awesome technique using ink refills to create that fabulous color effect. Basically, you just need to create your own temporary ink pad with a paper towel, wet wipe, or a piece of thick fabric using drops of ink refill.

I combined Shaded Sprude, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive here, and then stamped with that impressive pine snowflake image.
