Thanks for coming to my blog today! I’m super excited to be featured in this month’s International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by the amazing Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing in the top ten of the December 2018 International Highlights with my Watercolor Winter Woods card. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that voted for my card! I really do appreciate you taking time out to vote.
Our theme for the Top Ten Winners Blog Hop is encouragement. I decided I was going to show this via a thank you. I hope you enjoy my creation.
I decided I wanted to use a similar color scheme and keep with the tree landscape I had going on, but tried a burnishing technique with sponges this time.
I used the timeless Lovely As A Tree, photo-realistic Winter Woods and beautiful Rooted In Nature stamp sets. I just love that each of these sets has unique images that are designed to work well together. These sets help you fill any tree lined landscape and keep you in tune with nature.
I used a masking technique to create the moon while laying in the skyline.
The trees are embossed in White to give the nighttime wintry feel.
I kept the inside very simple and decided to let the sentiment stand on it’s own for this project.
