I did a card a few days ago with one single tree and I loved it. I decided to try to create a forest snow scene. I stamped the trees across the page and then used a fairly dry brush to daub old olive reinker on. I didn't paint it on I daubed it on so the lines of the tree wouldn't be destroyed or run. Then I took a brush with creamy caramel and dotten in limbs in places that would naturally show through. I used a small brush and painted on little spots of snow with white craft ink and used white detail ep. I wanted there to just a light appearance of snow on the tips of the branches. I used a sponge and cloud template to lay down the color in the sky. First I sponged Barely Banana between the trees to add brightness. Then I sponged Bashful Blue using the cloud template and added depth by going over the lighter blue with Buckaroo Blue. I wanted the sky to look wintery. I used a small sponge dauber to put white craft ink along the ground and embossed with Winter White ep.

Another gorgeous painting job, Kittie. The rest of us stamp because we can't paint! The way you combine your painting and stamping is beautiful! You are sooo talented! TFS!
