Winter Village

 Hello lovely crafters, 

I hope you are surviving the dull days of winter (if it's winter where you are). Today we have a glimpse of sunshine which is very welcome. 

Here is a Christmas card I made using a Little Claire stamp. I remember buying it a few years ago at a Craft show we are lucky to have very close to here. I'd bought a few things but I just wanted something else before I left! 

I've used it a few times but never in a circle and I do like the effect. 


I masked the circle and inked a little blue for the sky then stamped the houses. I added a few snowy hills in the foreground but I'm not sure if they show up here. 
I coloured with pencils and then filled in the yellow with a glittery pen and added some Wink of Stella on the snowy mounds and snowflakes (or stars?).
I finished with a greeting and a tiny holly stamp. 

I've already made more Christmas cards than I had by September last year (which wasn't many) so all is going well. 😄


I'm joining in with CAS Christmas Challenge - Winter Scene. As usual the cards but the DT and entrants are inspiring and amazing. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day x

    What a pretty winter scene, Alison! I love the color combo and the softly stenciled circle frame. Adding the snow hills to the foreground is a wonderful touch. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us at CAS Christmas!
