What fun colors! Becky picked such wonderful colors and I love them together! I don't have the exact colors, but I found some inks and Copics which are very close and they seemed like good winter colors to me, so that's the direction I went.
I'm so happy and honored to be a Guest Designer for the Color Challenge this month and no one was more surprised than me, lol! And along with the colors , I included the dessert of splatters.
After masking a wide band, I stamped the winter trees in black and added a circle mask for the moon and used torn paper mask snow and sky areas. I sponged on the two inks for the night sky and and a little of the teal for the snow. I added some shadows and used the white ink and splatter background to add the snow. A white gel pen was used to bring out some of the splatters a bit more.
I added the narrow strips down the sides (colored navy with Copics) and the greeting in the lower right. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks for looking! I'll have it on my blog in just a bit: The Write Stuff

I believe this is one of the prettiest downloads I have seen. Not only is your card awesome in color and detail, but your background accentuates it's awesomeness. Well done.
