Bring On The Snow!!

Hello Everyone!!

Just want to send out a Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating this weekend!! May your holiday be filled with friends, family and lots of good food, yum!! I have put together another Christmas card today using some DecoArt products. I won't go into too much of my process because I am planning a video on how I did the wood panels in the background. I did manage to pull myself away from the blue colour palette for a switch, HAHA!! Hope you like.

STAMPS: Leaves - IndigoBlu, Plaid Background - Hero Arts, sentiment image - TJ Designs, Script stamp - BoBunny, Polka Dots - Technique Tuesday. INKS: Ranger Archival inks Vermillion, Olive and Coffee, Distress ink sprays Peeled Paint and Gathered Twigs.

MIXED MEDIA: DecoArt Americana Paints Light Avocado, Titanium Snow White and Deep Burgundy, DecoArt Weathered Wood, DecoArt Decou-Page Matte, DecoArt Ornamental Snow Tex

DIES: Sizzix Tattered Poinsettia and Tag Collection. MISC: Some cheesecloth, twine, green pom poms and red ribbon that I crinkled up. Some plain red berries that I coated with DecoArt Decou-Page Matte and then sprinkled Martha Stewart Crystal glitter on them. The glitter was a lovely gift from my dear friend SAMRA.

So we finally had a lovely snowfall here on Monday night and I was raring to go!! I pulled out the good camera and headed off into the darkness to take some pictures and boy oh boy, I was not disappointed by the beauty I saw outside! I used a few different camera settings to get some amazing effects in the shots. If snow wasn't so darned cold, I swear I would sleep outside!

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.
