Winter watercolour scene using Distress Inks

Hi Everyone! This week I’m back with another Christmas card, I haven’t created a card yet purely with a winter scene or focusing around Christmas trees so I decided to experiment with creating a winter scene using distress inks for a watercolour effect.

I wanted to achieve a soft scene with winter sunset colours. To achieve this look I used Distress inks and water to paint the card. The Distress inks I used are Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio, Stormy Skies, Victorian Velvet, Shaded Lilac and Blueprint Sketch.

To see how I put together this card you can watch my video below;

I’m really happy with how this came out and I’ll definitely be doing some similar cards and experiment with different colour combinations for the sky.

Supplies used for this card;

• Daler & Rowney  The Langton 140lb/300gsm hot pressed watercolour paper
• Versa Mark Embossing Ink
• Hero Arts White Embossing Powder
• Anti static bag
• Simon Says Stamp Colour me trees stamp set
