Our WT566 challenge is to somehow represent our corner of the world. Well, at this time of year that was a no-brainer for MN, as we have been enduring a frigid week - but at least have some pretty snow to distract us from shivering! And yes, people do go for sleigh rides! Also, I actually had picked out this inspiration image from Saturday's inspiration site (IC527), but had not gotten to it yet, so I figured this was a great combination (love that sky): https://www.pinterest.com/pin/558727897492573276/
Splattered a panel with masking fluid, and after it dried I sponged the scene using a post-its masks for the moon, and the snow drifts. Stamped the trees with my NEW tree stamp (I'm crazy for tree stamps), removed masks and rubbed off the masking fluid to reveal the snow (love that moment)! I wasn't totally pleased with the whole scene, so I cut it down to include only the part I liked and framed it with my favorite die cut frame. Added some snow to the tree with a gel pen. Added the sleigh die cut to create some depth to the scene. (Sleigh and frame are popped up with dimensionals).

Pinned and faved, Maura. I love scene cards and yours is extra pretty. What gorgeous colors you used for the sky, and the wnite frame and sleigh really make this pop. Cold is a frame of mind...here in Southern Calif we have been having a real cold snap. I have been layering just so I can endure my exercise walks in the park. I start to freeze when the temps dip below 65.....that's what we consider really cold.

Pinned and faved by me too Maura. What a magical snowy scene you have created. I loved reading your card making process and I can soooo relate to the part where you only used the bit you liked LOL. Everything about this is wonderful.
