Christmas Foiled Basics collection by Yana Smakula
One more Spellbinders post! Yana Smakula has a new holiday collection of foiling plates, and invited me to share a project - this is the Winter Village set!
The base of my card is a piece of backing board that I ordered from Clearbags to use in my packaging when I mail prints - it's a cheap, textured board about the thickness of matboard. I pressed the foiling plates into the board without foil, using my die cutting machine. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvJw33Py5lmz8hoekMCV257gad2n9NbFE-EtNFwEb5ZH14pH2ud7PD1ohSZIm8u-K8a3co_cz27VVxom7eyuoEc3jbN6_vw-j2-98D0LX2WdA-tHXyOavrRbrdhif_-y56KwA/w479-h512/IMG_6112.JPG)
Next I brayered acrylic paint onto my Gel Press and pressed the board into the paint. Since the village images were impressed into the board, they remained white.
I used white gesso to add in some highlights to the scene, and I used colored pencils for shading and details.
With a pencil, I added a curved line below the lodge to create a frozen pond in the center of my scene. I used a ball stylus to dot in a few more snowflakes.
This whole collection has an elegant and modern style - I hope you'll take a peek at the other sets as well - they are available today!
