I saw this STUNNING card by Vanilla.Bean and I knew that I had to CASE it. Here is her card: Christmas Moon by Vanilla.Bean at Splitcoaststampers. I love all of the shading and shadows in her card and I wanted to see if I could do it too. It took me a few hours to get this card made. I used shimmery white cs to do the scene on, I wanted it to have that sparkle of cold, snowy night! There was a lot of masking and sponging, and then adding shadows with the aquapainter. I also used my aqua painter to make the fence and the shadows. This comes no where near Vanilla.Bean's, but I am happy with how it turned out!
Thanks for looking!
