One look at my gallery and it is obvious that winter cards are not my thing. So, i did my usual approach when I am out of my comfort zone...i just start putting stuff on the cardstock. I sponged ink then used a stipple brush to pounce acrylic paint over the ink. I added some silver stickles for sparkle. It looked awful at this point, but it did look more like a painting then s card, do I made a faux frame with some winter foliage and attached it to a card. The inside says "wishing you a picture perfect holiday season". I hope you join us in this week's F4A challenge. TCL, Francie

This is a keeper. I would use it as a Christmas ornament forever.
I thought this was a mini painting when I first saw it.
This is remarkable. Really really **really**.
This is going right into my Looking file. Cards I keep just to look at over and over.
If you could do a HT on that frame I think a lot of us would be grateful. I would love to see it in greys and a beach scene for example...I am not saying you should do it, just a way that came to my mind.
The decorations make me smile. For many years I put little things like that around the house on hanging art at Christmas.

Aw Francie, I love it! I actually thought your wooden frame was real and not made of paper. And your winter scene with sprigs of greenery is in fact, "picture perfect!"
