Spring Snow

Photo Details

Poster: naturecoastcrafter

Well, check one Christmas card off my list, done during the March 2012 VSN. Lee challenged us to make snow, her favorite kind of weather. Here it is.

I masked off a small rectangle, splattered masking fluid with a toothbrush, masked the snow bank, and sponged ink. Then I stamped the tree silhouette, let it dry, and wiped away the masking fluid. (Thanks for that little lesson, Heather Telford.)

This is simply lovely! and what a great idea to think of getting a start on Christmas... I was thinking 'spring snowstorm' which we just had this week dumping over a foot...
I love the blue and where you placed it on the card!
