This is for Lee's fun Falliday Challenge to make some snowy leaves. I'm counting pine needles as leaves on this one. I just got new toys and it's so exciting to put one right to use. I inked the flat side of the Pine bough ef with white ink to get a good base coat of white on my Taupe cards. I dried this ink then sponged Mossy Meadow over the needles. I then used a sponge to add more "snow" on the pines and randomly around the card (strategically over messy green ink on the one layer card). I added some shimmer white paint thickly on areas where I thought the snow would accumulate and then spattered some off my brush. I dried this then stamped my sentiment. For the standing card I then layered over Ruby Red onto a Mossy Meadow base.

This is really pretty, Gail! It has that feel of a gray sky on a snowy day. I know you must know exactly what I am talking about because you captured that feel perfectly!
