Approaching the Solstice

Photo Details

Poster: DragonLady64

I sponged the snowbanks with AA. The area around the tree has some BB as a shadow. The background pine trees are stamped 2nd and 3rd generation. The sentiment is in AA. Sponged around the entire image with BB.

Fantastic job with the snowbanks. What a great scene. I love the multi strand silver chord. It’s a gorgeous accent.

You've combined photographic realism with artistic expression to create this lovely scene. Adding the silver twine is the perfect finishing touch!

Beautiful card and I love the tree deep in your snowbanks. I also like the 2nd and 3rd generation stamping of the background trees.
