Winter Scene

I absolutely love Ashley's card for this week's PTI MIM Challenge Winter Watercolor.  My version is very simple with just 3 trees.
Our winter's are more frosty than snowy, so I used gray with a touch of blue.  The background watercoloring was done with DI weathered wood, faded jeans & chipped sapphire.  I stamped the trees from Enchanted Forest in Weathervane several times using a stamp positioner.  The texture of the watercolor paper almost looks like canvas.  The sentiment from Meadow Greens was stamped in a dark blue & then overstamped in Weathervane.  I added splatters with the DI & dots with a white pen.  The mat is Weathervane cardstock.  I can't wait to try another card like this using more trees.  I'm also entering SSS Monday (new Enchanted Forest stamp set) & WAW.

    I love that Enchanted Forest. Those little trees are awesome, Greta. I love the simplicity. So sad the Colts lost. It was awful after the comeback they had.

    I think you're right, Greta, this does look like a canvas and it's certainly worthy of being framed! It reminds me of the paintings I've seen in cabins we've rented!! Hugs, Darnell
