This is for CC294 to use Baja Breeze, Brushing Bride and Crumb Cake. I had to ask Joanne today what colors come close to BB and CC as I haven't purchased those new inks or papers. She said BB was sort of a cross between Blush Blossom and Pretty in Pink. I pulled out a sheet of both and several Prism pinks and found one that I thought would work. I used Creamy Caramel for CC. I stamped my the tree and snowman on kraft paper to cut out. I wanted the hat, twigs and cane from the craft snowman to paper piece onto my watercolored snowman. I lightly used Baja Breeze to shade the snowman and lightly colored the kraft images with Creamy Caramel. I paper pieced the pink scarf out of the Prism pink paper. The sky was sponged in on watercolor paper using Baja Breeze to create a soft pretty sky for the background of my winter tree and fun snowman. I love this set. The snowy ground and tree limbs were painted with white craft ink and embossed with white ep. This was a fun challenge for me as I usually paint everything with bright and vivid colors. I enjoyed the softness of this winter card.
I agree, Kittie, that snowman is really cute. (I think my OCL stamp of him is hiding in my stash somewhere.LOL) Your colors and design make this one winter wonderland card to view today in the gallery.
