There is whiteness ALL AROUND my corner of the world today...gorgeous puffs of snow.
I'm sure it sunk into my consciousness while I created this card.

The inspiration challenge at
has three scenes to choose from and I picked this neutral beauty~
There's a sweet free digi there to download if you don't have their stamps to work with.
I didn't have "just the right" soft brown to use within the color scheme.
I improvised by inking up the lovely feathers with Memento's Rich Cocoa and stamping on a scrap piece of paper before the panel.
I stamped a third time for the shadow effect on the larger feathers.
You know what I love about snow?
It's pure,clean and fresh.
Also, it's kind of funny.
It transforms the landscape into one giant playground.
I couldn't keep from smiling as I walked to the mailbox yesterday...puffs of snow kept flying from my boots.
It was like walking on cotton balls or wading through a ball pit (the fun foamy ones).
I might just take the plunge and sled through this stuff~wish me luck!
