My fifth attempt (yes, fifth!) was decent, but I didn't like the sentiment I chose. I cut it down and mounted it on a white card base. Not thrilled with the second sentiment, either, but I'm calling it good!
Thanks for visiting.

One-Layer Wednesday 106
The One-Layer Wednesday challenge this week, hosted by Heather Telford, is to make a one-layer card using sponging. I love sponging and inking, but have never used masking to create snowdrifts as Heather does on so many of her cards. Using her tutorial and CASEing any number of her cards, I gave it a whirl.
My fifth attempt (yes, fifth!) was decent, but I didn't like the sentiment I chose. I cut it down and mounted it on a white card base. Not thrilled with the second sentiment, either, but I'm calling it good!

Your sponged snowdrifts looks amazing from here! Such a pretty colour palette for Christmas and such a serene design, LoVe it Ann!
ReplyDeleteYou have it nailed, Ann! Honestly, my eyes did not even see the sentiment. They were drawn only to that gorgeous wintery scene so expertly "painted!" Awesome job!

Honestly, Ann, I think they are BOTH fabulous! That is some amazing sponging, I'll have to try this!
ReplyDeleteBoth of them work for me. Brilliant sponging job.
ReplyDeleteBoth are absolutely stunning Ann!
ReplyDeleteSo serene and beautiful, your sponged sky is perfect and your snow subtle and realistic. I'd say your first masking and sponging efforts were wonderful. I hope there are many more!
ReplyDeleteStunning work Ann!!

We're our own worst critics, right? I think both versions are just fabulous - the touch of white-on-white matting in the second is definitely calling to me. CAS Christmas cards? Check! Love that gorgeous tree stamp, too :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to finally be catching up with visiting my fave bloggers - you've been up to some spectacular stuff!
I'd never guess that you weren't an expert at masking a snowdrift!! Beautiful.
