It's time for the very first challenge of the New Year at TRY IT ON TUESDAY and the theme is WINTER BLUES.
(I hope none of you are feeling
blue after all the excitement during the festive season!)
Last year we had lots of lovely people sharing their creations
with us every month and I hope you will find the time to join us this
year too.
My first make for the challenge is a card made for a friend's winter birthday.
I blended a little Iced Spruce on the background first before using a light dusting of Chipped Sapphire and used the Iced Spruce to make the snowy hills at the base.
I secondary stamped the swinging fairy and the toadstools using Versafine Clair Twilight - the first generation stamping was simply too dark.
The vines were second and third generation stamping.
Some 'snow' on the tops of the toadstools using a white gel pen and I added a little bit of sparkle with a silver Posca glitter pen.
The rest of the TIOT team have some lovely makes to inspire you (if you need inspiring) so please pop over to the challenge blog for a look and thanks for visiting me today! x
If you're always trying to be normal, you'll never know how amazing you can be................
