A card for this week's F4A413 challenge, to make a scene. I used a Penny Black stamp and extended the scene a bit by painting in the hill and also sponging to make snowdrifts. This image was stamped a long time ago on watercolour paper and seeing as I need practise watercolouring, I worked on that. Its not anywhere near perfect, but I think my grandson will like it. He is only 11 but decided on his own to send me a Christmas card, even though he knew he would be travelling from Texas to spend a ski vacation with us during after New Year.

A fabulous and pretty scene. As I look at your snowman flying down the slope, I want to say "Whee". I can almost feel the breeze of the wind. Your grandson will love it. Thank you, for playing the challenge.

Oh wow Ina this looks fabulous. I love how you created the snow banks, they look 3D. Your colouring is great and gives a terrific sense of movement. Love this!

Terrific snow scene. As Susie commented, I noticed how you shaded in the snowbanks. Cool effect. Well done. I'm glad it's him not me going down the hill. How special to have received a card from your grandson. This is a fun thank you for him. Great job! TFS
