Here are some easy instructions for sponging the scene, plus a link to Theresa's website below:
First I cut a circle out of post-it note (the sticky part) and stuck it on the card for the moon. Using a small finger sponge dauber, I sponged the lightest blue gently around the 'moon,' then changed daubers for a medium blue around that and blended the two together. Finally, I used the darkest nighttime blue for most of the sky.
For the snow, I used the lightest sky shade of blue, the one around the moon. The stamp itself has a lot of dark space around the trees, cabin and trees, so I added white gel pen for 'snow' on tops of the limbs and roof.
Finally I used Quickie glue pen for the highlights, as well as dots to imitate blowing snow off the tree tops and across the moon, then sprinkled clear glitter onto it and shook it off.
