My "Heard from the Heart" and "Lovely as a Tree" sponged card using new In Colors. I love the intensity of the new Pacific Point. It is diff. than any other SU blue and goes so well with existing colors.
This is my 1st attempt at doing a Michelle Zindorf style of card. I used a couple of Tutorials for inspiration. I masked the snow area and then sponged with Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue and Pacific Pride. I went back and sponged with Pacific Pride along the snow edge. This is the perfect BG for Lovely as a Tree, which I stamped with Black Stazon.
The snow was such a nice larger area to show off the new Heard from the Heart sentiment, which was inked with the Pacific Pride. This is a 5 1/4" square format to showoff more scene.
I am very, very pleased with the results. Thanks so much Michelle for your wonderful tutorials and inspirations on your blog.

This is gorgeous, Nancy! One of the things I really admire about you is your enthusiasm for trying new techniques. This card looks so polished that you would never guess it was your first try at this style. Well done!

WOW...this card is picture perfect! I love how some of the trees are offset in the background and then you have one upfront. You did an awesome job with the sky. You should be pleased with the results. TFS!
