This is for the December Magnolia-licious Homepage Card challenge in the Magnolia-licious yahoo group and Stampin' Sisters In Christ challenges.
IÂ’ve been wanting to try one of these cards and so I just had to participate. I printed out the tutorial from SCS.
I think I took a photo of this card about 20 timesÂ…no jest.
I just could NOT get the right angle without either a shadow or losing the “shimmer” that I wanted to capture. Here I FINALLY used my Yasutomo pearlescent watercolor paints on the snow. I ended up taking a paintbrush and dabbing some white PTI Fresh Snow ink on it to make it a little more visible and then went over the top of that again with the pearlescent paint in white. Furthermore, I painted the tree as well in the green pearlescent. The river is colored with a blue American Crafts Galaxy marker. Then I went over top of that with my sakura clear glitter pen. Because my take on snow is that it’s always glistening. In addition, I used a copper Galaxy pen on the tree stumps to the right. I also finally pulled out these pretty white MFT flowers. I bought them up at CHA and never have had a chance to use them. I added some blue dewdrop centers. I applied some faux fern branches with my MS fern punch.
Tilda is colored in with prismacolor pencils and OMS with blender stump. Lastly, I used a Miss ElizabethÂ’s adhesive sentiment and Heidi Grace rub-on snowflakes. The window is cut out using my CB and nesties die.Phew! I think thatÂ’s itÂ….LOL This was a FUN card to make! YouÂ’ll definitely being seeing another one of these only with different images. TFL!
