Here's a close-up ...
I started by sponging my background, flicked water, and then blotted with a paper towel. I tore two strips of white card stock for my snow drifts, and adhered a beautiful street light die-cut given to me by my friend Marcia (Marcia's Stampin Pad). Thanks Marcia!! xx
Still lots of time to play along. Hope to see you in the gallery!

I love this beautiful lamp and the glow behind it as well as the falling snow and snowbanks! A beautiful Christmas card, Loll!
What an absolutely beautiful blue that sky is Loll, and the ghosting used for snowflakes and the lantern with its wonderful yellow glow are just perfect!
Love the subtle snow from the water splats! Such a lovely lantern and glow!
I am blown away by how you made the glow on your lantern Loll.
Loll this is stunning - love the sponging and the wonderful die cut you have used. The ghosting is so very subtle and beautiful.

The glow from the die cut light is spectacular. Love the blended background and hint of falling snow. The snow drifts are beautiful. You've created an awesome scene.
Another gorgeous example of this technique, Loll! I love the subtle effect of the ghosting, and how you blended your inks to add such a beautiful glow from the lantern...it's so pretty!
Wondered when I was going to see this beauty and it's a great reminder to me to get this die out and use it myself! You did such an amazing job with this card Loll...love your beautiful background with the ghosting snow, the light coming from the lantern, and also that lovely sentiment! Fabulous card!! :0)
Oh wow, this card sure packs a punch. Love that lantern die. A lovely guiding light. :)
Hmm, using the Ghosting technique to make droplets for a wintry scene - hadn't thought of that! Love it! I'll have to remember that! Very pretty and serene Christmas card!
I love this card Loll .... beautifully CAS and what a super little die. I like how you've created the glow behind too xx
what a wonderful glow from your street lamp Loll - it lights up the scene so nicely!
Beautiful! Love the "glow" of that streetlamp and your splats look perfect for falling snow!
I can't even begin to describe how happy this card makes me! Really captures the holiday season so well!
Soft and so lovely, Loll ... the glow from that light is stunning! Hugs, Anita :)
I just love that street lamp! Is there someplace to purchase that die? It is lovely! I can imagine many a winter scene that would include it.
Hi Vicki. I hope you check back here because I don't have your email address. And your comments on my blog come in as "no-reply blogger". The die was a gift from my friend Marcia (see link to her blog above in write-up). I'm sure if you contact her, she will share the info about where to get that die. Loll :)
