I love Polly's black and blue theme over at the WT challenge. It was the perfect inspiration to get my three color coins done for the SCS Jan-March ATC Swap (there is still time if you want to play too).
I almost used a picture of my Grandson's black eye he received in a wrestling match this past weekend - he was proud of it. LOL.
Instead, I used this YouTube tutorial and created a snowy forest scene:
I did this with only one little lamp on in my kitchen as my daughter spent the night again (we heard gun shots near her house last night). I used an ink pen to draw my front trees and a die for the deer. I also used Snowtex because it just looks so real. After the Snowtex, I sprinkled on Dazzling Diamonds - that is when the coin spoke to me and said "I am done now."

This is lovely....so atmospheric! That hint of blue on the bottom is perfect. I had to laugh about you mulling over using your DGS black eye...ouch! Hope he's ok.

What a fab scene you have made for the coin. (I would have LOVED to have seen the black eye, though!)

I love how this turned out. The hint of blue is beautiful. I tried to find the ATC swap but no luck. My D(God)S plays hockey so a black eye is somewhat of a trophy sort of speak. Hope it's not too serious.

Nancy, your color coin is beautiful. So funny about your DGS being so proud of his black eye. Kids are so cute. I messaged you on FB. Did you have tornadoes again?
