The first time I saw this stamp it was done by needmorespace and again by hobbydujour. I stamped in Adirondak slate. The background is inked with distress inks and the scene is colored with copics and pencils. I masked and airbrushed the sky. A few random stitches were added along with tiny screw brads.
There is a little more purple in the sky than the photo shows.
Thanks for looking.

WOW, this is a gorgeous card Nancy!!! I love the way it is all kind of monochromatic and then you have the pops of holly colors. Your distressing is awesome, something I have a bit of trouble with. Glad you were able to make a card today!! :>)

A stunning card. Like the random brads - an unlikely and nice touch. Your cool tones all just come together for the perfect look with this scene. Love it

Nancy, you might have seen me use this image(thanks for the nod), BUT you took it to a whole higher level on this beautiful card. Your laying, distressing and coloring are all exquisitely done.

Wow! You did an awesome job with this gorgeous stamp! I bought it just before Christmas too, when it was on sale at Michaels. I love the distressing and the colour combo is awesome....it pretty well fits this week's colour challenge. I love the stitching too!
