This is my submission for WT226 Christmas in July.
I used the new set Scenic Season for the background, how ever I think I will cut the bird out, it just looks like spilt ink over the moon. the stamp has a sentiment attached but I cut it off and mounted it elsewhere. I started by embossing the skaters from Winterpost , emboss resisted and stamped the bg, drew a pond line, used CE to make it look like ice , drew white snow with my gel pen and added dazzling diamonds, Added some buttons and new polkadot ribbon. Sentiment is from gifts of christmas,The rest is obvious. Thanks for the challenge Julia, and thanks for looking!

I am really liking this stamp. I love how you made the snow glitter, and I love your buttons. You did a great job with all of the details on your card.

I remember this scene from last Christmas, but what I dont remember seeing is anyone add a sun/moon to the mix. Leave it to you, sweet girl, to always be on top with these creations of yours. Of course, when I read your deets, I had no idea how you really did all this because I really, if the truth were known, dont know a whole heck of a lot about coloring/techniques. I just never want to take the time to learn anything new. It's like a dont care if I advance to the next level. I'll just sit here and admire your work. It works for me. BTW, all the elements you've added to this card are really stellar! I'm not just saying that either: they really are. Your work definitely reflects that of a very experienced and skilled artist. Wonderful holiday card, Peggy-Sue.
