“People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy” – Anton Chekhov

Hello dear friends and kind Universe,

Just very briefly to share with you last Friday’s contribution as a DT member for the Brown Sugar Challenge Blog. The sponsor was Robyns Fetish.

The theme was ‘Winter’, so I thought that the digital image I have to work with was very appropriate. The idea of designing a card in the shape of a crystal ball came into mind, but as I was running out of time I decided  to create this lovely and quick card instead..

The blue colour felt very appropriate for the background, so I dropped in some ink sprays onto a piece of card to observe what happened.. 🙂

I liked it a lot and had this great feeling of knowing I could create a very quick greeting card, without putting too much effort and thought into it… I then proceed to colouring the digital image… 🙂

I used cooking paper to create the snow on the ground and I since I am ready for the winter cold, I must have the sun in my card, despite being a very cold winter scene.. 🙂

The trees really complemented the winter scenery very well, but adding the sentiment was the final touch, although you can see it was done in a rush and even the trunk trees are a bit unfinished for my liking… I think this is the fastest project I have ever created.. (and it was done at about 3.45am, last Thursday, therefore no time for finishing touches, sorry !!)… So, a big thank you for my creative whisper, which I really appreciate very much..!
