Here in Denmark the Winter is not really started, it is probably the warmest for many years. And it is many years since I've been out to be skiing on the few hills we have here *LOL. But to imagine real snowy weather is not hard, when the birds are freezing and sitting alone out in the trees. Visit Simon Say Stamp Monday Challenge DT to see great examples of what winter is.
I have used Golden gesso, paste and a lot of blue acrylic color on my journal page. Tim's stencils dot fade and speckles are used with paste and white color. I am very fond of Dina Wakley's bird stamp. The little bird is stamped with Archival ink jet black, painted with brown colors, then put on a branch which I provided with layering stencil festive in order to give the branch a little life. The beautiful snowflakes are from RetroKraft Shop, which I've painted white and used lots of Distress glitter.
Thank you for visiting my blog in the gray January darkness.

Beautiful winterspread, love the golden bird!

This is really beautiful! I love how vibrantly blue the sky is and how you made the bird looking up at the skies. The colors on the bird really stand out against the blue. I also like the addition of the snowflakes and all of the great little dots and splotches of white in the background. Wonderful job on this and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
