It’s officially winter! We had our first snowfall on
Saturday that stayed on the ground. Here are a couple photos taken from our
front porch on Sunday morning.
By Monday morning the snow was pretty much gone – but coming back later this week.
The last card I posted
featured the Victorian lady singing. This one is the gentleman holding a
wreath. The background was a blue panel 5 ½ x 5 ½” that I sponged various
darker blue inks on to get the sky background and then splattered on water
downed white paint for snow. The snowbank was die cut and glued on. The trees
are from another old die set and they were die cut from some paper I had
sponged various green inks on. Two were glued behind the snowbank to make them
look in the distance.
Then I decided I should have had a moon
but because the background was blue cardstock I could not to my usual bit of
adding water to remove the blue ink. So I die cut a white circle, added a bit
of grey ink here and there for texture and glued it on. The Christmas sentiment
was part of the set and I die cut it twice and glued it together. The Merry was
from another set and it was stamped on a piece of white cardstock and glued in
place.
Cheers
Violet
