Winter Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This NBUS stamp has bee waiting for over a year to see ink.


I stamped one of the branches with Soft Suede ink and colored with Arteza watercolor 
pencils.  I didn't use much water because it wasn't stamped on watercolor paper.

After all the ink was dry, I splattered some White Gouache paint over it
and added it to a card front.

We'll be doing a card similar to this in our class this week. 


Challenges:
Cardz 4 Guyz #338 - Use Something New from Stash
Four Seasons - Winter
NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff (Winter Sketches stamp)
Simply Clean and Simple - CAS card with option of Winter


  
 



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Winter Sketches (Greetery), Cosmos (ret TT)
Ink:   Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler Marker
Paper:   Naturals Ivory (ret SU), Cherry Cobbler, Neenah Naturals
Other:  Cherry Red, Venetian Red, Jungle Green, Jade Green, Chocolate Brown Watercolor Pencils (Arteza)


Enjoy!

A perfect winter card with the branch on a snowy day.

It is definitely winter across the United States and no shortage of snow! Such a pretty snow card with just the right amount of snow - not too much and not too little. I do love seeing branches loaded with snow.

It's so beautiful, Bonnie! CAS and perfectly wintry with the added splatters. A year may sound like a long time, but they sure go by quickly. When I look at my NBUS baskets... I'm hopeless!
