Done for the Seasonal Challenge #6 found here: https://oscraps.com/community/threads/january-challenge-6-seasonal.36812/ Journaling reads: It has been cold...It has been below freezing...It has rained...BUT there has been NO SNOW this winter...so far, anyway! Really, it doesn’t hurt my feelings...

I sorted through my kits from foxeysquirrel to divise this winter's night scene.

Keeping things to a minimal palette I took the black stamp of the snowman and reduced the colour to white then played with shadowing to give it some dimension with the grey tones. The same with the branch but a bevel was added. I added a bevel to the tree and a slight shadow.

I used row 3: winter element, foliage, brush/paint ( It could also cover column 2) This kit has lots of overlays which I used a fillers in my clusters.

Palvinka Designs has a new collection in the store - Frosty Friends.

I love this picture of my granddaughters, who are best friends. I used Lilach Oren's Cozy Winter Kit. Photo is mine.

Lucky for our Son and family that Vermont actually got some decent snow on their recent trip there for a sking holiday. I used the beautiful collection from Palvinka Designs - Frosty Friends

A new kit by Emeto Designs. I played with the elements to create the scene and added a 'snow-friend's' photo

When I saw the Chick-a-dee as one of the elements in this kit I knew I needed to get it. I used one of the paint splatters a a clipping mask then erased more of the photo so that the paint would show through.
