New Year's card with Mr Snowman

Hello everyone, I'm here with my second project for the Stars challenge of the Country View Challenges. Along with the Christmas card with Mr Snowman, I started to make a New Year's card.


For making this card, I cut out a huge panel from watercolour paper. I painted the top with a mixture of Broken China, Picket Fence, Bundled Sage Distress paints. When it was dry, I made a starry sky using the Starry stencil and the Opaque Matte Texture Paste. But before drying I wiped off some dots and stars.

To the bottom part, I put a layer of Grit-Paste. 


I inked the edges of the panel with Vintage Photo Archival ink.

The snowman was painted with Picket Fence and Broken China Distress paints. And the edges of all the parts were inked with Hickory Smoke and Vintage Photo Archival inks.

For the wooden New Years sign, I used an old and retired Sizzix die by Tim Holtz, the Sized Arches and the Alphanumeric Label Thinlits die for the text. The sign (Sized Arch) was painted with Picket Fence and Frayed Burlap paints.


The little cardinal is painted with Festive Berries Distress paint.
