Snowy Swirl Tree

Photo Details

Poster: Ophthalmologist

I'm still in a wintery mood, so I came up with this card for today's TLC - Silhouettes. I watercolored the background, then stamped the tree silhouette on it (masked part of the trunk) and added the snow with a white gelly pen. I missed a bit of sparkle, so I decided to add some Stickles to the stars and snowflakes and some rhinestones to the card (which is cuttlebug-embossed with my new cuttlebug snow folder).

I don't know what you have in Germany, but I don't know how anyone can NOT be in a wintry mood today. It has been snowing HARD since I got out of bed this morning. Your card is beautiful and on the perfect paper.

Love your fun image. It looks great double stamped. Nice colors in your scene and I like that textured paper.
