Let it Snow

It looks like all the challenges are going with an Ice or Snow theme at the moment, gearing up for a White Christmas! It definitely isn't snowing here, but it's not too hot either - actually it's a perfect late Spring day today.

This card almost ended up in the rubbish as I wasn't to happy with it, but then I spritzed a bit and let it dry and decided it would do!

I began by masking the background with some die cut trees and the slope and then stamped the trees and santa is his sleigh. then I sponged the background. Using a brush and water I softened the trees and then as I said, I spritzed it all with water.
I think it looks quite misty. Can you see the subtle white trees in the background? To finish I added the deer die cut, stamped the sentiment splattered some white paint and mounted it on a dark blue base card.

I am entering the following challenges.

Craft Stamper Take it, Make it - Snow & Ice theme
Simon Monday Challenge - Let there be Snow
City Crafter - Christmas Things that Float or Fly
CAS Mix it Up Challenge - Stamping+Sponging+ one other (paint )

    It does have a very beautiful, misty look Jenny. Great job!! I do see the subtle white trees in the background -- they are awesome. I know that you added paint as your choice for CAS Mix Up, but you also have splattering, die-cutting, masking. So many wonderful techniques all in this one pretty card. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

    What a wonderful winter scene! Love the misty magical look - as if the real life reindeer was dreaming about being one of Santa's reindeer. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up.

    I think this is amazing, Jenny! I love the white trees in the background and how the water softened the trees in the foreground! Great job of sponging too! Isn't it amazing what a little spritz will do! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
