It's so strange, I love making winter scenes and winter cards, but for some reason I was struggling so much with this challenge! Maybe it's because it's currently over 80 degrees (over 26 Celsius) outside, so practically summer, but I think it's also because I had a specific card in mind and it just didn't work out the way I wanted it to. This one almost didn't make the cut either....

The masking fluid worked a treat Ellie, great snowy sky and the pops of red on the berries really draws the eye.

DeleteThis is a GORGEOUS card. It popped right out at me as I was looking through the DT makes. I had to come over and tell you how much I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Stephanie!
DeleteI really hate when I have an idea in my head and can not get it to manifest itself in my card. This really is beautiful though!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes it was so frustrating! No idea why I couldn't do my original idea...

It's just gorgeous. Love how you did the snow with masking fluid - I've had mixed results with it but maybe I could use it like this.

Hi Ellie!!! Love this Christmas card, the masking fluid has worked really well against that sky xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteWow! This is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had more time to devote to doing art projects and learning new techniques but right now is just not the right time. That being said, I absolutely can admire and appreciate the works of other. Beautiful.
