We woke to some snow this morning on local hills- which is a first in the 10 years we've been here in New Zealand- Which means my kids had never seen snow, so we went up the valley to Tunnel Gully to see the snow :-)
Inspired by the really wintery weather I've made this card for the Paper Players CAS Sketch Challenge.
I didn't keep it very simple I'm afraid- I love my glitter and ribbon too much.
I've brayerd and sponged the scene, using masking and the tree from the Lovely as a Tree set (SU). Then I've added some Iridescent white powder and dazzling Diamonds and some green Stickles.
The photo's not the best- light is at a premium, beacuse of the wintery weather. Stay warm.
Gorgeous card, and thanks for the heads up on the tunnel gully. We went up early afternoon and it was snowing rather hard even if it wasn't quite as covered as when you were there (every man and his dog had been there I believe)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning Debi, both your card and the photo's!! I have the same problem photographing at the moment, but since I don't live that far from you - you will know why!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Debi and I love your snowy photo's. We had a lovely sunny day here in England.
