Beth, congratulations on the milestone of 200 Featured Stampers. It is a thrill to have your name called out on a Sunday and thank you for hosting and spreading the love. I have taken this opportunity to CASE a friend and much-admired stamper Hobbydujour, Sallie. I drool over her brayered wonders and often comment on her wondrous skill with color. She's encouraging to me in every way. So, hats off to you today, Sallie.
I have tried again to pick up my brayer and bravely post the results. I used SU colors for the sky. The smaller tree is stamped in Basic Grey, while the tall tree is Black. I used my liquid applique for the snow. The entire card is super shimmery from Glimmer Mist which rarely can be captured in the photo. The border is Sahara Sand, inked with the Bella Toile BG stamp in Sahara Sand & I lifted the image panel on dimensionals. I will likely add a sentiment before sending this out.
Happy holidays to all. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

This is absolutely stunning. You did a beautiful job brayering the colors for the sky -- I never can get a nice an even coverage like you did without any brayer marks. I really like how you stamped the back tree in gray and the front one in black -- it really gives the whole thing dimension. The liquid applique on the trees was the perfect extra touch!
