My New Years Resolution is NO new stuff. So I used 2 new techniques instead
I created this for Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog and then decided it would fit the WT challenge too..I have been working on the coloring for several days.
What's New:
Technique: I used a tutorial by Michelle Zindorf
for the sponging..She brayered sponged
Image: A new image for me from Mo's Digital Pencil Too
Easel: I have never tried an Easel Card before. LOVE them.
Thanks Julia for a great challenge.

( I read what Pam wrote.) Other things I say are: Holly Cow!! - Do you think that is because of Harry Carry in Chicago? Sorry for the chatter.
Your card is so amazing!!! It is my favorite in the gallery. Your coloring is beyond understanding. It just blows me away. I think so many of your cards are frame worthy. Have you ever thought of doing a bigger drawing and framing it? You are quite the little artist.

Who needs to buy new stuff when you can come up with something this incredible Dawn. WOW, your coloring/sponging/brayering is absolutely STUNNING!!!

Wow, Dawn! This is spectacular! Awesome background and coloring! I love that image! Great easel card, too! Are you still supposed to get snow over there? Our chances have dropped a little but it looks mighty gray out there! Stay warm!
