Another one for the Christmas box

I've been having a play with some gorgeous new stamps called 'Home Sweet Home' from Chocolate Baroque, I've used the cute little cottages framed with Mistletoe stamps from Joanna Sheen that I've had for years and years to make a simple Christmas card for this weeks 'Kissmas' challenge from the lovely ladies at Hunbug Hall.

I stamped the cottages and mistletoe in black versafine on white cardstock and masked the mistletoe and the moon to ink in the sky. I used memento inkpads in summer sky, danube blue and tuxedo black applied with a shaving brush to build up the night sky. I added the snowflakes with an inksentials white gel pen.

I extended the snow drifts around the cottages with a black fine line pen and coloured the scene and mistletoe with derwent coloursoft pencils and added some glamour dust to make the snow sparkle on the roofs and branches and the tops of the snow drifts. I used a gold krylon pen to finish off.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
