Hello and Happy 2024!!! I would like to start by wishing all of my blog followers and readers a 

                                                  Happy and Healthy New Year!!


It's the first of January so we're in the midst of Winter at the Four Seasons challenge blog and it's time for a new winter challenge. As always there is a fantastic mood board to inspire you, but it is optional and we would love to see all of your wonderful winter creations in the Four Seasons gallery, up to 3 entries per participant. 


Our January 2024 Mood Board:


Here is what I made inspired by the bottom left image on the mood board.

I started by creating a winter background using a mix Distress Oxides (Speckled Egg, Stormy Sky and Wilted Violet). A piece of torn paper was used on the bottom for some snow. I used Tim Holtz snowfall paste on the hill and trees but not sure it shows up in the picture. Maybe I just don't know how to properly use it, it's a new to me product.

The image is a stamp from Tim Holtz' set Winterscape by Stampers Anonymous. The sentiment is from the Penny Black set Festive Cheer. I added a die cut berry branch and die cut snowflakes and also used my white Posca pen for some splatter.

I plan to share the final card with these challenges:

Before I sign off for today, I wanted to let you know that there is a brand new challenge blog in town blogland! Our team leaders from the Four Seasons challenge (Darlene and Diane) have created a brand new challenge blog called Word Power where the focus is on words/sentiments. Hope you'll check it out. The first challenge is set to start on January 4th!
