Joan Ervin gave us a new technique to stamp with water. Her tutorial gives all the details. My attempt was not so successful since you can't see the tree stamped with water, but it is there! : ) I used that old spattering technique of using a toothbrush and watered down acrylic paint for the snow. The whole card has a shimmery look that does not show up either. Are you getting the idea that this is NOT the most successful card in the world?!
The CAS challenge was to use these colors today.
Soft Pink
Old Olive
Kraft
White
TFL

Well, it may not have turned out as you planned, but I think it is quite lovely! The overall impression is misty and soft; the lighting effect is great. While I haven't tried this technique, it seems to me you've been highly successful with this wonderful card!

No, I'm not getting the sense that this card was unsuccessful, because I think it it one of the prettiest cards I've seen. Your lovely scene is gorgeous!
