Today's card is a mix of three current challenges - The
CAS-ual Fridays "In the Mist" (use mists on your clean and simple card), the
Less is More "Snow" one layer challenge and the
SCS CAS148 "Chill Out" challenges.
At first glance you may not realize that this is a one-layer card. A mask allowed only the center of the card to be open for misting while additional masks and sponging formed the snow banks. A quick frame made with a fine-tip marker keeps the focus on the winter scene.
The shimmer spray (Blue Skies Glimmer Mist) is much more noticeable when the card is at an angle. That adorable dog in a sweater stamp is a favorite of mine since it reminds us of our dog, Lily! She has very short hair and spends all fall/winter in sweaters. Want proof?
Four different pictures - four different sweaters. Lily probably has 10 sweaters including some special "dress-up" sweaters with bling/flowers for when we visit Nana's house (yes, I am pitiful but I have no daughters and this is as close as I will get to a girl!! No, her nails are not polished so Lily still has some dignity.) The stamps are retired and from amuse.

that glimmer mist is a beautiful shade. very cute card!
Such a cute card! It does not look like a 1 layer card, which makes it all the more impressive!
Awww! This is just gorgeous! That dog is darling--and the misting is so pretty! :)
FAB card michelle, the doggie on your card is real cute, as is yours. Looks like a lot of fun in the snow was had by all!
Many thanks
