When my creativity slumps I love going through Heather's tutorials. I masked the card, stamped in Versamark first, then again a bit off in Versafine. Heat embossed. Sponged the background in Memento gray flannel, Distress iced spruce, stormy sky. Paint and I just don't get along but I brought out some very old acrylics and with a toothpick dotted the berries. Thanks for stopping by.
Edit: I neglected to include Heather's link Snow Storm

Nancy this is AMAZING!! Your soft shading of the gray really emulates a cloudy, gray sky...and the berries are a beautiful compliment to the sky. I'd say you and acrylics played well together yesterday ;)

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock

well, I'd never know of Heather until I spied this stunning card in your gallery, my friend! And now I have a bookmark to the 'Heather' tutorial...though I could happily have 'Nancy' tutorials!
This is truly a work of art and show the lightest of hand in it execution. Marvelous. love the comment about you and paint...I feel that way...you should see the floor of my studio with all the rejects...

Nancy, you sure DID get inspired by Heather's beautiful card! I love how you masked most of the card out and added your snowy scene - the berry branches look like they are glazed with a coating of ice (not a strange sight here the last week of storms) Positively stunning, and loving all that clean, white space!
