1984 - 2013: Celebrating 29 years in business

I inked up the Shack (D587) in sand and stamped it first, then stamped the birds (J347). I colored the shack and drew in the post and feeder tray using PITT markers. Next I stamped the pine trees (K37) in gray by masking the bottom edge to look like a snow bank. Then the deer (MK1), the fir branches (N102), and brambles (N22) all in gray. I used texture (J174) for the ground "snow".

This card is half-size, I double-inked the trees trunks (MK1) in the background and tall tree trunks on the left of the card in gray and brown. I added the brambles (N22) all around the edges in gray to create the feeling of leafless trees everywhere. I inked the trees in the foreground (K37) in gray/black (right tree) and pine green/black (left tree). The kids (D585, D586, D596) were inked in sand and colored with PITT markers. The hint of ground texture (J174) was inked in gray.

I double-inked the fence (M302) closest to the bottom in brown/black and masked the bottom edge of it to look like the snow is burying it. I inked the woman (D568) in sand and colored her using PITT markers. The footprints (N75), barn (D554), and tiny fence (N20) were inked in gray. The tree (MK7) was inked in pine green. The texture (J174) for the sky and snow was done in gray and smeared lightly.

For this card I inked the fence (M302) in brown and masked it, then inked another fence (N20) for the rest of the fence to the cabin (D581). I inked the cabin in gray and colored in the walls with PITT marker. I used the tree (K37) to bridge the gap between the 2 fences and double-inked it in green/black. The tree in front (N99) was masked to make it look like the snow was up above the bottom. The sky and snow were inked in gray and done with texture (J174).

Next I stamped the girl (D585) on the sled (D604), I inked her in sand and masked her legs, then I colored her over with the PITT markers and drew her legs in. Then I double-inked the Mountains (P15) in gray-green, masking the girl and sled with a scrap of paper. I added the background trees (MK7). I kept adding trees (N99, N102, K37) in the foreground to compensate for not quite getting the effect I wanted, using green-gray-black.
