Hello there...
Welcome to December, it's really making itself known here, still, it maybe freezing but it's bright.
I'm giving you a break from my AI cards and instead I'm sharing some painted cards. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas unless I painted some wintery scenes and these are a mix of watercolour, acrylics, distress inks and some ink blending.
The trees are old stamps but it's the first time I've used the steps and stones stamp by Lavinia. The background was ink blended, trees stamped in Versafine and the steps and stones have been painted
Using the same stamp I also did this one
Everything has been painted and splattered with white acrylic paint
And my final one is just a wintery scene with some old tree stamps...
...Again all painted and there are also some gold splatters but it's hard to photograph
That's it for now
Have a lovely day

Oh my gosh Ros...all 3 of these cards are STUNNING!! Your painting skills amaze me...so much lovely, lovely detail in each card!! They all 3 should be framed!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou create such wonderful scenes, Ros and your painting skills are awesome. I think these would look wonderful framed on the wall.

Three gorgeous wintry scenes Ros and love the different pretty trees together with the steps and stones and then just the pine trees which all look equally beautiful and very atmospheric with the falling snow. x
ReplyDeleteLove your trio of lovely snowy scenes Ros, wonderful combination of medium and stamps.. this a fav technique of mine too - and must say how weird it is to be an Aussie creating snowy Christmas cards when it's soo hot here, it's ramping up here in Queensland these last two weeks - heat and humidity so the air con is getting a work out... as an aside though, last weekend they had snow down south - unbelievable, right when half the country is struggling with fires - we just need rain everywhere. Your cards are gorgeous, have a fabulous week hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteI am truly lost for words Ros as all of these are stunning. I have real card envy...what wonderful talent you have....thumbs up to you... (makes a change from hats off...lol) xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wintery cards Ros. I love all 3, and they are painted beautifully. I agree with the above these should be framed! I really like the splatter of gold and white paints, really gives it that blizzard feeling. Awesome cards! So glad you posted these. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteYour watercolors always blow me away. Oh, my gosh, the shadows on the snow! Wonderful Lavinia stamp for scene building, and you did a beautiful job of that. I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful cards Ros, so many techniques to play with. I think the watercolour are my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteLittle masterpieces, Ros! I love the combination of ink blending, painting and stamping with these sweet winter scenes!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You are SO artistic! These are AMAZING ... love each one! Thanks for gorgeous inspiration my friend! Stay warm out there!
ReplyDeleteRos, these are all so beautiful!! They surely look hand-painted!

Honestly, Ros, you could sell these in a gallery! Each one should be framed! I couldn't part with them, but if you do, you are really gifting the recipients works of art!! Happy Holidays! Hugs, Darnell

Beautiful wintery cards, Ros! Very serene and lovely with the trees and steps! Beautiful backgrounds, too! All of your cards are frame worthy, simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou are an artist, my friend! I love seeing your beautiful scenes--especially the last one!
ReplyDeleteWOW...gorgeous scenes you have created...you could certainly give lessons on your backgrounds as they are always, always amazing no matter what medium you use to create them!! Sorry it took me so long to get here but I have not had a free minute since last month...hopefully after today things will slow down for me a bit..doing a craft show today with my cards!
ReplyDeleteOh Ros, these are fantastic! Your little scenes are full of wonderful frostiness.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all fantastic, Ros! Your painting is amazing! Love the color of the sky, the shadow on the snow, the trees, and the steps. The white acrylic falling snow is a really nice touch.
