I just cannot get a good photo of this card, which I have made for Anna's MIX136 White Wash! challenge. It was a real effort to keep this clean and white, to me this image calls for distressing and sponging.
For mixed media, I used both watercolour pencils and paints, and added Glossy Accents, Stickles and Liquid Pearls do decorate the tree. Also to help ground it I used some white acrylic paint through drywall mesh tape, an extra take on the challenge.

How well I know the urge to sponge and color! But I really like this card, Sabrina! It's perfectly lovely and I think the bit of drywalling at the bottom grounds the image and is a perfect touch.

Glossy accents, liquid pearls and stickles - OH MY!! Bet this really SHINES in real life, Sabrina! I think we all have a tendency to want to do MORE on every card, but yours is perfect just the way it is - DELIGHTFULLY SIMPLE!

I love that your tag is 3-d and I did notice all those other listed details seeing the photos so, maybe its not as bad as you think? ( white cards are always boogers to shoot though)
