In the Wild by Helen Chilton

I'm using the same Katzelkraft set as last week for this project.

For the background I sprayed various green and blue Distress Oxide sprays onto kraft card over the trees from this stencil moving them around each time.

I love the effect you get.

I've added more green here and then stamped and cut out the stag's head. At this point I also stencilled in some darker blue trees using the Distress Oxide Ink Pads which give you more control - you can see them in the finished project.

Watercolour the stag using Distress ink pads.

Here I've started adding the leaves from this stamp set.

I stamped them using a stamp platform, painted them in and then overstamped them to get the image back.

I then stamped and cut out some smaller leaves and the pine needles to finish off. Add splatters of white paint for a really wintery feel.

I've left this without a greeting but it would make a great Christmas card.

Hope you've enjoyed this project.
