For this BCA challenge we were to use a handmade embellie....well, that is the best part about having a cricut...
I cut several snowflakes, layered, glittered and added a gem to center for my embellie
The focal panel, I sponged on 5 colors of inks for my sunrise, sponged a gray for definition to snowbanks. I loaded my tree stamp first with versamark and then black ink, stamped my trees and sprinkled with glitter while still wet.
I scraplifted parts of this from several different gals here, and I thank you for leaving detailed info in your descriptions for those of us who are just learning...so many thx to Rox71, SusieB, and Michelle Z....I need to work on it lots more but sure having fun while I practice

This is super gorgeous. I've recently rediscovered Lovely as a Tree and all the beautiful creations that can be created with it. Amazing, vivid colors in your sky and love the sparkling snowbank.
