I haven't made 2 cards in a week for awhile, well, excluding the frenzied card making blitz for HYCCT. I had so many "orphans" from my struggles with the first CC card that I decided to makeep another CC card. The die cut rectangle with the dry wall tape sponged design is from the first card. Then I searched through my collection of stamped but uncolored images for something that fit. After reading Susie's fantastic talltale, I just had to make a card for this week's MMTPT to use snow. After coloring the image with copies and adding snow tex, the angEl looked like she was floating on a cloud. A trip to the freezer for my tree bark collection solved the dilema. I have mentioned my frequent close encounters with trees during my lunchtime park walks...too absorbed in all of nature's beauty to notice the giant tree looming ahead of me. I keep the bark in the freezer in case a creepy crawly has stowed away for a vacation at my house. Just a thought...if you are the teapotter that gets this card, you might want to keep it in the freezer.

I am so happy to see you at the Tickle party this week, Francie - and your gorgeous card, too. All that snow-tex looks fabulous. Maybe I am spreading mine too thinly, I will have to be more generous with it.
Sadly you won't be able to send this to Susie in case Australian customs destroy it - they did that to a card I send my BIL once, because they thought Flower Soft was real moss. But that gives the rest of us a better chance of getting it . I think the bark looks great.

Francie this is fabulous!! Your Angel is so, so cute and as always your colouring is terrific. All the other details are incredible, the dry wall stencilling, the layers, the snow and let's not forget the brilliant bark. Sabrina once sent me a card with a little beaded koala in it. It was quarantined for 3 weeks LOL.
