I wanted to make a different kind of love card - more like a sending you love card....I find I need those a lot. Using Heather Telford's techniques, I first splattered the card with masking fluid and after it dried I masked off the section of the card front, masked the hills and sponged lightly, then masked the horizon and sponged for the sky and the lamplight more darkly, then stamped the trees and lamp. Then I removed the moon mask and rubbed off the masking fluid. Unfortunately the snow drifts in the foreground don't show up much, but IRL they are there and they add dimension to the scene. For more specific videos, check out Heather's fabulous blog. Linking to CAS310 (Love is in the air) and F4A259 (love card with a moon image).

A beautiful winter scene! You did a fabulous job using Heather T's technique! I'm saving this for future inspiration. And a great idea to do a "sending you love" card - something I could use in my stash too.
