Winter Storm

Hi everyone.  I had fun playing with Brushos yesterday.  It's been a while.  I forgot how messy they can be. :)  Next time I will definitely wear protective gloves. :)

But, you can't deny, that the colours are so amazing.  I used just Black Brushos over top of the Aspen Tree Stencil (The Crafter's Workshop) on mixed media paper.  I spritzed with lots of water, quickly removed the stencil and let the water sit for a few seconds before carefully blotting with a paper towel.  I LOVE the gorgeous mix of colours you get.  Very simple card to make too!!  I added two snowhills by tearing my white card stock for the bottom; splattered diluted white acrylic paint for falling snow, and added a simple sentiment.  Done! :)

I made this specifically for the January Stencil Fun challenge - Hello and/or Winter.  Thanks for the great challenge Darlene & Diane!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, it truly is amazing! And that stencil, too! Together they make the most beautiful scene. You chose the perfect deer for it as he does appear to be bracing himself against the winter storm. I'm so happy to see your card today, Loll!

What a pretty winter storm, Lolly! The colors are amazing and the trees stayed so white! It's snowing here right now. Too bad it's dark outside but I have the spotlight on so I can watch the snow out the window.
