Falling Snow

Good Morning.

We were happy to have some snow for Christmas this year.  Not a lot but just enough to make it a white Christmas.  I love the look of the snow hanging on the trees and it inspired me to make a card.

So onto my card.

I wanted my card to have a crisp, white border so I got out my Rectangle Mask from A Colorful Life and placed that over my card front.  I am loving these masks for creating this kind of card!

I placed the masked piece inside my Misti and stamped the Pine Trees with black ink.

Next, I sponged in the background using some Distress Oxide inks using a blending tool.  

To add interest to my little scene, I stenciled over the background using the Grunge Dots, then I splattered it all up with some white acrylic paint.  

I removed the mask and then scored a frame all around the scene using my ScorPal.

I kept the sentiment simple using a stamp from PB.  I mounted it onto a darker blue to bring out the blue on the stenciled snow and then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for taking time to come by and see what I've been up to.
