Made another cling wrap card. :) This time I used Brushos with spray starch and cling wrap on cold press watercolour paper. I find that the deeper colours work best with the w/c paper and Brushos. This is a mixture of turquoise and ultra marine. You can just make out some of the creases in the background. Many are behind the "snow fall" of splattered white acrylic paint. :)
I die-cut a simple stand of trees from white card stock and stamped a sentiment at the bottom in Delicata silver ink.
Since I have snow on my Christmas card, I'm also entering the gallery at Merry Monday #274 - Crate a Christmas card with snow

really like the bright bright blue with those stark white trees!
I love your deep blue snowy sky background for your white die cut trees, Loll. TFS Hugs..
Gorgeous vibrant colours of the brusho's. The starch and water colour card has worked so well with this technique. Stunning card x
Beautiful vibrant blue - love it, especially with the splatters of snow. Great card!
Love the beautiful blue background with the white die cut trees. A lovely card. Thanks so much for joining us at Merry Monday.
Loll, such an amazing deep blue sky, perfect for a snowy winter scene
Wow, this is a stunning card Loll! I love that background. What does the starch do??? I know the cling wrap will make the crinkle look but don't know what the starch does or how you use it. lol Love the winter trees, such a lovely Christmas card! Hugs, Brenda
Another brilliant blue sky card, Lolly! It looks so stunning all splattered with snow behind the white trees!! Hugs, Dolly

Gorgeous! The realism in the sky is remarkable. Adore the deep blues against the white. Like I said, gorgeous! :)
Such a brilliant blue background Loll...it's just perfect with the falling snow and white trees...love it!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Merry Monday!! :0)
What a beautiful blue sky, my friend! The splatters are perfect for falling snow and I love those trees!

I love the deep blue of the sky, really makes those dies cut trees pop! xx
Beautiful card, your background is so pretty. Thank you for joining us for Merry Monday.
You always get such a beautiful, rich color with this technique, one I must try again. Love the subtleness of the creases in the background. And I immediately ordered that die too! Love this.
What gorgeous depth to your blue sky, Loll! It's so striking against the white. You have all of blogland crinkling saran wrap into their paint! I am always slow to get on the bandwagon, but I am looking forward to giving this a try!
Gorgeous background and a lovely die, super RD crd.

Stunning Brusho background. Love the white splatters and the white die cut trees. They stand out so well against it. That colour of blue catches my eye every time. 😉
Your deep blue sky looks so beautiful that I feel like being drawn into it. Thank you for your tips on using deeper colours with the w/c paper! Hideko xx
This is a gorgeous card. Love the effect you got with the brusho's. I finally have a set and have tried them due to this cold/flu we both came down with just after Christmas.
Will look up this technique when I finally crack them open.
Your blues are brilliant and the tree scene die looks great here.
Thanks for taking part in the January Rudolph Days Challenge.
Stunning card - love that bold blue!

I always love coming by to see what you've been up to, Loll and I'm never disappointed! I always inspired by the techniques your using. The blues in this card are amazing its the depth of color and movement. Beautiful for a snow themed card!
This gorgeous bright blue background makes your trees pop and looks phenomenal!
Love the intense blue you have for the background, looks great against the crisp white die cut. :)
oh I love the white against the dramatic blue, I want to try this - pinning for inspiration.
My next foray with Brushos will be with watercolor paper so I can get that beautiful vibrant color, Loll
it's so beautiful and elegant, Loll. I love the intensity of the background color, thanks to which Christmas trees pop up so much in the foreground. A wonderful winter card!
