The hills are all done with ink dusters and broken china distress ink, and the trees (Inkylicious) are stamped in broken china and tumbled glass DI. The foreground stamp on the right is from Penny Black (Berry red, snow white) added to with promarkers and the tree stump, owl and fence are from a Lindsay Mason set called Build a snowy scene.
The tree on the left is also from Inkylicious and the sentiment from Waltzing Mouse. I used promarkers for the fence, tree, tree stump and owl, before going over various bits with the quicky glue pen and glamour dust. The base card is A4, so it is a fair size.
Only today have I realised that it fits this week's Allsorts challenge where the theme is blue and brown. Thanks for looking and I hope your preparations are going well. I still have a week of school left, although parties, a Christingle service, and an achievement assembly are all included in that, so not much to plan! Off to make a few more Christmas cards whilst tidying my desk!

This is wonderful, Sally - love the tag triptych idea and the scene is brilliant. Great subject matter, too but of course I'd say that if it's nature, lol. Hope you get your extra week, but I'm not hopeful, he, he. Enjoy your mad week and I'm sure your Dad will love this x
A beautiful card. I love the hills.

Morning Sally
For some reason Blogger is only showing me one picture here (the top one), had the same problem on several blogs this morning so not just you.
As you can guess I love your three way creation, lovely soft shading for the hills and I see that owl has made an appearance.
Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts Challenge, good lack and wishing you a very Happy Christmas.
