Craft a Scene- February Challenge

Craft a Scene: Challenge # 2

Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to create a winter scene with scenic stamps. If you are not sure what we mean by scenic stamps you can check out our new tab "Scenic Stamps" where we have listed several companies with links to their stores. These are not the only companies to use, but it is a good representation of what we are looking for.

I tried..........really tried this time!!!




Let me tell you these challenges are work!
WORK I tell ya!
And the darn picture's crooked! Aaarrggghhhhh!
Who knew I don't have great inks, or styluses, or any knowledge whatsoever on how to make a scene!
Well, on paper anyhoo!!!
Who knew you could get so stressed out over a tiny piece of paper!?!
Glossy no less!
Tip I learned....fabric paint should not be used over inks!
My white picked up the colors of the rocks and the cabin!
Ah well, I got a month to rest up....NOT!
Gonna practice Making a Scene! (On paper!)

I'm happy to say I'm done....until the next House Mouse challenge, which I think is Monday!

I'm not sure how long I can keep this pace up!

hahaha
Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now

I think your scene looks great. Love all the brads. I am wondering about the brown textured paper at the bottom of the scene. It looks like themal paper that has been scrunched and heated.

Ha ha! Your post did make me laugh.
I think your little scene is just beautiful. I want to go and live in that little cabin and snuggle in front of its roaring fire.
