Lot's of plaid going on here!.....you just can't see it!!! Went to add a little snow and it turned into a blizzard!!! You can just never depend on the weather, even here in California...!!! LOL......details.......
Stamped my trio of snowmen, paper pieced the hat bands, mittens, little birdie and scarves, using a lot of different plaid dp. Didn't think that maybe these pieces would be too small to notice the plaid on them! LOL Oh well. Colored the hats and noses with faber castel pens. Traced them with a blue marker, sponged craft white on the bottom and put winter wonderland ep over and heat embossed. Cut this scene out.
Stamped the trees on white cs, then stamped over them again with flannel plaid stamp using garden green. Sponged different greens over, then cut them out.
Stamped flannel plaid using sailboat blue, clear eb it. Sponged peeled paint over. Put this all together on a white card sponged green and doodled edges. Popped up the snowflakes, snowmen heads and tree tops. Then the trouble began. I was just going to splattered a little white paint to make it look like a light dusting of snow, but my thumb got carried away and it turned into a blizzard!!!! That happens sometimes! Anyway......TFL :0) P.S. Don't know why this picture isn't cropped, because I cropped it on my computer but somehow it loaded un-cropped! My computer is messing up, I went to type and the key board wouldn't work. So I change batteries, hit the re-set button still no typing. So I just starting punching everything and wal-la, it worked. Sorry about the picture!

Cathy, you are so funny. I love your blizzard. Not quite ready for the real stuff. I'll just enjoy it on your card. I love how your trees look and how the ground looks.

Wow comedian, artist, author and now computer tech!!! Your card is just awesome. Love the plaid you can see and can imagine how awesome the plaid you cannot see must be. Your story cracked me up!! I needed a laugh today. My three sons are off to snow country in search of another elk!!! I wish the cows that moo would go into season so we could eat some normal meat. All I need is another antler in this house. I had trouble getting used to the full buffalo head at the bottom of my stairs. My son's room aka the animal cemetary did not have room for it so now it is my family room....everyone should have one! lol Your card gave me the relief I needed. I always worry about them because they go so far into the back country and it snows a lot there. Love the blizzard look. tfs.
hugs, sputnik
