Twilight Trees

When I first featured this tree stamp I said I would be back with more designs but then forgot this one was waiting in the wings. I started this one with masking fluid, quite a bit, splattered over the panel. Once the masking fluid was dry I stamped the trees in brown dye ink then painted masking fluid on some of the branches. When that was dry I positioned a mask two thirds down the panel so I could brayer the sky with blue and pink inks. I removed the horizon mask and used smaller masks below the tree trunks to sponge some snow drifts. I looked for a place to add a sentiment but decided to leave it blank on the front and add something later inside.
I am happy to report here in Ottawa there are no scenes even remotely resembling this. We have made a start on leaf collection but still have half the backyard to finish. The weather has been kind.

Stamps: Joy to All (PB)

What a knock-out! Love all the blended colors. You have such a light touch, Heather. Thanks for sharing.
Heather, this card is spectacular. I feel like I could jump in that snow bank and be covered in cold fluffy snow. Would you consider doing a periscope on how you do snow Banks? Mine never look like this. Just Beautiful!
