I blended my background with Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores inks, and then started the water coloring with Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado inks. I added the white acrylic paint like Betsy did and also did some splattering to add a little more "snow". I trimmed my cardstock with a stitched rectangle die and then added some fun foam to the back to raise it a bit off my card base. My sentiment is from Snowfall Style and I think it perfectly fits this wintery scene.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Your trees look like they were painted by a professional artist Marcia! I love your cas design. Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, this is so pretty! You did a great job on your trees - they look like they were made by someone who paints often. I love how your trees are on the smaller, stitched panel. And now I wish I had added more white paint on mine after seeing yours! I'm going to buy a "good" fan brush and attempt to do this again in the future.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Marcia! Love the beautiful scene that you created! Your trees look fantastic! Great take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteMarcia your card is terrific. You did a great job on the trees! They could have been painted by Monet! Cheers to you my friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike...I used the same sentiment! Your trees turned out great, but I agree—Betsy DID make it look easy, but it’s not!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful trees, Marcia. The background sky is so very peaceful in your lovely scene.

ReplyDeleteMeant to type TREES Lol!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think you are already amazing at these fan brush trees!
ReplyDeleteYour trees are beautiful Marcia!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty--great job with the trees, especially the snow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees, Marcia! I thought about doing a smaller area, but just kept adding trees which kind of hid what the individual trees looked like--luckily! Instead of buying a better fan brush, think I'll dig out some of my many tree stamps--haha!
