This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 297 - Perfect Breeze Pizzazz. My background attempt is my 1st and only one at Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 299 - W.I.S.H. as I think I like Faith's Ink,Spray, and Smash better. I just could NOT get a good solid background after my 3rd attempt so I filled in the white spaces with coordinating SU Markers and my color spritzer tool. Still not overzealous with the outcome but I have to get to work so it is what it is.
My layout is from Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 93 - Sketch by ltecher. I added my ribbon and bow all the way around.
My image is from a just released Christmas set called "Peaceful Noel" from TREEHOUSE STAMPS DIGITAL LINE.
I colored with copics BG10, BG72, E31, E33 & E34 then traced around the horns and sentiment with my Black Spica Glitter pen and added some stickles to the snow banks. Hope you like it.

I LOVE LOVE the background! It looks almost like the salt technique. In any case, I really love how it turned out, Neva! You made one beauty of a card here!

Your background looks like frost on a window. Perfect for your lovely reindeer!

I haven't tried Monday's technique yet, but your BG is absolutely amazing! Looks especially great in today's colors!
