Hello everyone...
I have just finished work this afternoon [Thursday ] and my day off tomorrow so thought I would pop in and say hi!..
I have been dabbling again with inks and made a real pretty background that would serve two purposes one Winter and one Autumn..I have no idea how it happened, it just did...that's the way ink rolls....and then I forgot to take a picture while it was whole...!!??
Thank you Holly, I can show these by myself..
So this was the sheet but I had already die cut it out and sort of put it back together so you could see how each side was different..Autumn Colours and Winter pines.
Then I made an oxide ink background like a night sky....added splatters of white paint for stars or snow..
Glued down the trees and a sentiment and it was done..
The other side of the sheet had this gorgeous yellow hue in it so an Autumn card was born..with grey cloudy skies and a few birds flying inland for the Winter..
The cloudy border die came from my friend Annie and I inked the edges for a bit of chilly depth and the light grey card stock got a swipe with the ink pad too..
And here they are together...two seasons one inky sheet..
Thanks so much for stopping by...think I will go find some challenges...
See you soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx

I agree with Annie...these are BEAUTIFUL Chrissy, love your inky backgrounds and die cuts.

Oh I love your ideas Chrissy they always look so brilliant when finished. So nice to see Holly again, she looks adorable, lucky girl she chose you..xx
Two magical cards - the treeline works perfectly in both settings. I love those vivid green tones (I think Holly should watch out that her splendid white fur doesn't end up with green patches!), and while it's a close-run thing, I think the soft duck egg background just edges it for me... I adore the bird silhouettes soaring overhead (overtree?).

These are so pretty I do love the photo bomb though how cute is she! hugs Pops x
I love how different the cards are. Brilliant. Thanks for joining us at Cardz 4 Guyz. Caz. DT
Same trees, same basic layout, but making scenes for different seasons and their colors make a big difference. I always find it inspiring to see how the same supplies can be used for very different cards.
