Hi!
Guess what, I managed do do another christmas card today. 🙂 I used my favorite stencil from Memory box to create the background. I went for the blue snow glitter explosion look. Never heard of it? Me neither actually but I thought it would look cool and I like how this card turned out. 🙂
I made a video of the process, normally I try to upload a video each week but during the summer time my craft time has been limited to say the least. But now I will try to go back to my usual routines and share a video on a weekly basis. I love making them and your sweet comments make me really really happy. 🙂
Take care and have a good one!

I enjoyed your video and love the bear Christmas card. I appreciate you showing the processes you went through. I see most colorists use a gray to add shadow to white. Why did you use blue?
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! I almost always use blue when I shadow white, but sometimes I use light gray as well. In this case I was picturing the “blue glitter snow explosion” kind of thing, and I used blue shading to match my embossing paste. I think both options ( blue or grey ) work fine for shading white images, but I seem to reach for blue, I think it look really crisp and I really get a snowy felling, 🙂
I love this card. I also use a very pale blue for snowy shadows, rather than a grey, as I find grey makes the snow look grubby! To me grey shading would be for a rain cloud.
Pat, thank you for leaving me such a sweet comment. I agree, most of the time I use a pale blue shadowing snow. I usually use my grays for a rainy cloud, but sometimes I think it’s suitable for snow as well. If the pallet is gray, I think it works . 🙂
Joanna what a striking background for this cutie!
Thank you for joining this week’s Less is More Challenge, animals.
