Hi Everyone. Prior to starting our Group of Seven Cardmakers blog, our group kept in touch during Covid and started trying out new and (revised) older techniques. We are including them as a reference for those that are interesting in trying them out.

Supplies:
- kraft card stock
- white pigment ink
- sponge
- scrap paper to create masking
- Stamps to complete scene
- Dark brown ink
- White acrylic pen (optional)
Technique Instructions:
- Tear paper to create torn edges for masking
- Place mask just up from bottom of card front (masking above areas), and sponge with white pigment ink. Sponge solid white at torn edge, fading out as you go down. Leave some open space at the bottom (kraft card colour).
- Move mask up page and repeat the masking and sponging with fading.
- Before removing the last mask, stamp an image in dark brown ink.
- Move mask up page and repeat the masking and sponging with fading.
- Add in additional images as needed.
- Once you are approx. 2/3 way up the card front, stop masking and just lightly sponge white ink above to create a snow sky look, leave space around any images that are above the last snowhill, creating a halo effect around them.
- Add white highlights to your images using a white acrylic paint pen or diluted white ink or paint.
- Splatter with diluted white ink or white paint to create falling snow.
