I
had a lot of fun creating this card. I think my blue background is a
little darker than the challenge picture, but hey, it's still in the
same family! I used watercolor paper and distressed the top layer with Broken China and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks. I splattered white paint on the top after it
dried and also added a few drops of water. That gave the effect of
snow. The snowmen and bird are from Honey Bee Stamps Snow Buddies. I used the matching Dies
to cut them out. I colored the accessories with Copic Markers and
outlined the snowmen with Copics, too. The snow banks were cut using
the Lawn Fawn Hillside Borders.
I stamped the words "Let It" off a a stamp I found in my collection and
the snow die is a retired Stampin' Up die. I cut it out in black and
then four times in white for dimension. I love the way this turned
out. It made me smile!

Good evening! !
ReplyDeleteIt is 9:30 PM on 30th Japan time now.
It is the custom of Japan's year end.
In the year end, we say “Yoi otoshi wo” to each other wishing for the coming
year to be pleasurable.
The New Year season is the most significant season for the Japanese.
All the Christmas décor is switched to the New Year’s in a blink.
Major New Year icons are the pine tree, bamboo, plums and so on. All of them are symbols of good fortune and longevity.
