I've spent most of this week without any kind of creative juice but as it rolled around to Friday night, the hint of a smidgeon of an idea wormed its way out. I'd been interested in the sketch at
The Paper Players ever since I'd seen it on the first day and now, when there's only hours until the deadline, I finally got it working for me. It's such a great little sketch, that I'd like to use it again sometime.
I have been in a Christmas card frame of mind lately and although I usually avoid snowy scenes, since Christmas is a summer event for us, this one just formed itself.
The white tree was resist embossed: white embossing powder then sponged with Lost Lagoon with the snow line masked out. The white embossing powder had a tiny bit of Iridescent Ice mixed in, which gives it a hint of a sparkle, in real life. The other trees were added using Lost Lagoon that had been stamped off to various degrees. The 'peace' was die-cut and stacked but I trimmed the long ends of the 'p' and 'e' so the sentiment was more proportional to the rest of the design.
