Hello and Welcome.
Time for another card for the
Our theme this month is
Anything Goes
My card was created so quickly using a simple technique I showed on my blog a few weeks ago that I called Acetate Inking.
It is really simple to do. Basically, I rubbed Distress inks onto an acetate sheet and sprayed with water. By bending the acetate sheet, I was able to apply the ink exactly where I wanted it to be on my cardstock. When it was dry, it reminded me of a mountain winter scene, so I simply stamped the trees leaving my card simple.

I die-cut a frame and mounted the piece onto my card front.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Completely wonderful! Jo x
You get wonderful results with this technique, Karen! It does look like mountains and the trees are perfect! It reminds me of the hill behind the house I grew up in. Love the look of the shadows!
So atmospheric, so beautiful and gorgeous x
Beautiful acetate watercoloured background, Karen. I love how you stamped your trees to give them depth. Your card could be for any Winter occasion, so no sentiment means you can save and add sentiment later:-) Love that... Hugs and Happy Holidays my friend.
What a fabulous technique Karen and your card is gorgeous, Kate x
Beautiful Karen, I love the misty effect of the watercolour and the trees are perfect. It reminds me of our BC forests above the water. I have to try using the acetate :)
awww you just totally blew me away again i do love your colouring the bluesss
You certainly created fabulous mountains Karen. This is just gorgeous in 'your blue tones'. Love that you framed it - great finish.
this is simply gorgeous Karen

Beautiful!
You have mastered this technique (as you do with all the ones you try)! This is a gorgeous scene, Karen. Love the gray and blue colours which really portray a cold winter's day. xx
Brrrrr! I love this Karen. Barbxx
Wow! Karen, your cards are beautiful! I love your watercolors.
Love your poinsettia and how I struggled with that one with ink and markers. Just could not get a crisp image like you did! I bow to you for that. Loved the trees and even hunted for that stamp but could not find it anywhwere. What a great technique and thanks for sharing it.
A beautiful snowy winter forest Karen! Julia xx
Transferring the inks from an acetate sheet has worked really well Karen and the blue trees are perfect with the background too, and this is such a pretty winter scene. x
Absolutely GORGEOUS Karen!! LOVE those blue trees and your background is FABULOUS! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
What a great card - love that you have kept the 'scene' monochrome
Blessings
