HYCCT1323 The Snow Queen

Photo Details

Poster: UnderstandBlue

Today's challenge is to be inspired by a fairytale. You need to check out the gallery - it's amazing! Most people chose happy little fun stories - I chose the scariest story I've ever read. Read about it and the ensuing psychotherapy at this blog post.

Are you playing along with us? If not, you're missing out on the chance to lift the spirits of women battling breast cancer at MD Anderson, and also on more than $5000 in prizes from your favorite crafty companies.

So what are you waiting for? Get to stamping!

Breathtaking. The depth is just astonishing and that you accomplished it with a credit card is crazy! When I tried that technique it did not turn out like this. You ROCK! And, yes, real fairy tales are scary as heck!

I agree with you, Lydia! I think most fairy tales are just plain scary! I haven't even been able to come up with a shred of an idea.
But you took something scary and created something so beautiful - the background is unbelievable and the snowflakes are gorgeous! Wow!

I agree about fairy tales, which we all read as kids. And I wonder why people today were up-in-arms about Harry Potter! Your card is lovely.

Okay Lydia, first of all, this card is over-the-top gorgeous! Secondly, your blog post cracked me up. Thirdly, I'm tempted to read the story, but not sure I will! Thanks for the description of how you did your amazing background!
