Jeanne's MIXed media challenge today called for us to use a new die, stamp or stencil and at least two mediums.
In my 50F attic this morning before work I pulled out this old piece of Magical Masking Tape. I'm not sure why the tutorial specifies gloss card - I practically always use normal cardstock and I think I prefer the look. This was an attempt with glossy to see how it turned out. At a guess, the colours are peacock feather and broken china.
I brushed some white acrylic thickly across the bottom, giving me two mediums, and sprinkled the flower soft on it. Moddy Christmas and my brother were good to me in terms of Amazon shopping, so I have a few new dies to play with. Here I used the TH tree, cutting it from an old piece of very wrinkled wrinkle-free distress with ODBD sheet music stamped on it. I layered it up a little on plain white card, and added some sprinkles of flower soft and glass glitter. And I added the little copper stars. Home from work and with my attic now up to 53F all I needed to do was add it to the card base and stamp the sentiment.

I love the organic look of your blues bg with the masking tape technique. It reminds me of homemade die colors my siblings & I made with various candies, pop rocks, nerds, skittles by soaking them in water. We would use the ‘die’ to paint our fingernails and lipstick.
Simple pleasures that evokes creativity at an early age.
I absolutely love the look of your diecut tree from sheet music Sabrina! You are a creative visionary!

What a delightful card, Sabrina! The snowy ground at the foot of the tree lends such wonderful charm and visual texture. I have been eyeing that tree die for some time; you have given it a lovely look with the stamped sheet music and additional textural elements.
