I have used this Serendipity stamp called Winter Fenceline once before, but last time I changed it to Autumn. That is the beauty of this stamp as you can make it any season you like by varying the colours.
I stamped the image on to a snippet of white card with Versafine Smokey Gray ink and coloured using Distress Inks and a brush and some water. The colours I used were Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass, Seedless Preserves, Walnut Stain and Mustard Seed. I did water the colours down well, especially the Seedless Preserves and the Mustard seed as I wanted it to be quite subdued. Afterwards I did add a little more yellow using a Spectrum Noir yellow pencil as the sun needed a little more colour and the pencils are more controllable for finishing touches I feel.
I cut the image using a Simon Says Stitched Squares die set and then added a mat from a snippet of dark blue. I then decided to back it with some embossed snowflakes using a Crafter's Companion Snow Flurry embossing folder and another snippet of white card. I also added three die cut snowflakes again cut from another snippet of white card using Craft Emotions Snow Crystals die set. I finished with a sentiment die cut from another snippet of dark blue card.
Thank you for visiting today.

Loved this scene in autumn.It's equally beautiful as a winter mix, and your sky lights are just perfectly lovely over these snowhills. Lots of old wandering fences around where we live. Embossing the snowflakes just added more pretty & icy to this brrrr look. Hope your day was lovely & happy. Happy New Year too. Also appreciate you being one of my blog followers too. Enjoy seeing your work. TFS & Hugs.

Beautiful card. You made provision for every detail and the card looks like a photograph. I love putting shadows in the snow and the sun, which coyly pierces through the trees. Wow!
