Snowy Day

Hello and Welcome

A very big thanks to all of you for coming to visit and for your most kind and encouraging comments.  It really means a lot to me.

Here's another Christmas card done as I try and get some ready ahead of time.

So here is what I did to create my card.

• I began by masking off a smaller sized piece of cardstock with one of the Marvelous Rectangle masks from A Colorful Life Designs. (there are a few different sizes included with each shape) *I tried to choose a mask that was a bit smaller then the image so the trees would be outside the inked area.
• I sponged on some Memento Gray inside the mask, leaving some areas darker and the center with less ink
• I removed the mask then stamped the trees over the masked area with some Versafine Clair Noir ink and clear heat embossed it.  Using my white Posca pen, I splattered with lots of white to look like snow.
• I glued that onto a slightly smaller piece of white card, then set it aside.
• Next, I took some heavy white cardstock and dry embossed it with Snowfall Speckles in my Cuttlebug.
• I stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed that too.
• I pop dot mounted the tree panel just above the sentiment and then added it to a piece of gray and then onto a heavy white card base. 

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
