Here is my sample card for sweet Robin's, Free for All challenge. I had a chuckle at the revised challenge theme name, as it really is winter in July in the land down under.
Don't look too close at the tree, I couldn't find Kittie's brilliant tutorial when I made this. I have since found it - look for Evergreen Tree in the tutorial section.
Apart from channeling Kittie, I tried to channel Karen Dunbrook....I think of Karen everytime I see gorgeous blue-arty-watery backgrounds.
It sure is great to be home - I made this sample card back in March before we went away, so all the Brusho stains have worn off now. I sprinkled some blue brusho powder onto some al foil, squirted on heaps of water and dunked the watercolour paper in the inky puddle. Using alfoil instead of a craft mat saves on washing up.
I hope you get a chance to play in this fun challenge.

WOW! The background couldn't be better for a white tree! You must be PUNCHY by now! All those little branches turned into a beautiful tree though! It does take a while to get rid of the Brusho stains, doesn't it!

Oh my Miss Susie, first let me just say Wowza. Blue and white is my favorite on cards and your card is amazing! Love the Brusho BG, love the tree, you totally channeled Karen and Kittie in this brilliant card.
Susie, you don't need my tutorial. This is a gorgeous tree and that background is out of this world beautiful. I especially love the white tree with the blue.
