Stenciled Forest

I
A bit of a sponging experiment this round.  With the first card I used a white pigment ink to add the dots but with the second card I used embossing paste.  I definitely like the first version better.

The Details:  Memento Danube Blue and Tuxedo Black, Memory Box deer dies, Simon Says falling snow stencil, Sakura pigment pen, Crafter's Workshop birch trees stencil, Dreamweaver embossing paste, Recollections white 110 lb cardstock, Scotch foam tape

I'm entering this in Christmas Stampin' All Year Long #37 Anything Goes, Holly Jolly Colour Choice (Monochromatic), Jingle Belles The Great Outdoors, Addicted to Stamps & More #121 Anything Goes, Less is More 198 Multiple Trees

    Wowee, these are both beautiful!! I think I agree with the pigment ink for the dots but I tell you, if I received either of these for Xmas I would be over the moon!! The blending of the background blues is so perfectly done. Absolute winners!

    Wow! These are both gorgeous! Love the sponging, but I have to agree I like how the first one came out better, too. The "snow" is a bit more subtle. Thanks for playing with CSAYL. Sorry I'm so late in commenting.
