I did this painting last week after seeing it on Ellen Crimi-Trent's YouTube channel. I hung onto it, thinking that maybe the WCW team might choose it sometime. Well, I'm not waiting for that; I'm uploading it for Jaynie's bubble WT. Thanks for your lovely challenges, my dear!
It wasn't hard, just took a lot of time and layers. I worked hard to get the background dark enough, worked hard to get the pine boughs soft enough. The fun part was painting the circles. I used acrylic ink, also some metallic watercolors in silver and gold.
I will put on a sentiment eventually, wanted to just do a diecut word but, as usual, couldn't locate what I wanted. I have misplaced two bone folders this week. One minute it's in my hand, the next minute....poof!

This really captures a snowy night with the bokeh technique. You are right the background is dark and pine boughs are soft and the snow looks like it's out of focus. You made one creative card. Love it. TFS

This is really awesome! Love all the layers. It's what it looks like outside my window today as another round of snow moves through.
Laughing out loud as I read your comments about here one minute gone the next. My room isn't that big and yet I continue to lose things - sometimes to the point of just replacing them. I must put dies away immediately or they disappear.
Happy New Year!
