IC630-Julie gave us a wonderful site for inspiration, Design Sponge. I chose this for my inspiration: http://www.designsponge.com/2017/08/...ioned-way.html I chose it for the colors, blue, brown, and white. Love that combo together. Guess my blues are a lot darker.

My son gave me stamps for Christmas, including some I am using on this card....what a sweetie. I am making him a birthday card with these stamps.
CT1217-Dirty Dozen gallery theme for this month: Snow, Sand, and Stars. I went with the snow and a woodsy scene.
Stamped my scene, masked the moon so I could sponge, and then splattered the snow.

Incredible. The trees-I have never seen that kind of detail in a stamp and your coloring is great! The tones and blending-great. I think I might take a look at that stamp.

Wow Brenda! You have made these tree stamps sing with the way you have worked in this gorgeous blue sky, the falling snow, and the wintry ground. I really love this card a lot and so will your son! ~Karen.

Sweet Brenda, what a marvelous image of gorgeous tree trunks in a winter scene! I love the blue color and the bright and beautiful moon. You did a fantastic job with adding the snow! Great card, Mrs. Benzi!! BTW, I love the story about your inspiration piece. I had completely forgotten about soap on a rope!! Hugs!
