Imaginary North Pole. |
The table out on the deck looks like a giant white cake!
This is my beautiful garden. Just a different type of beauty.
Time to bring out the heavy equipment and clear the driveway. Definitely not a time to shovel snow!
Then the doorbell rang and look who was here!
We were blessed not to lose power this time. My heart goes out to the hundreds of thousands here in New England that not only lost power but actually had to evacuate due to high tides. Hopefully life will get back to normal soon.
On a lighter note I thought you might like to see a different side of the "Tomato Vine" colors. If you use the Kaleidacolor ink pad you get a look that is more like the colors of a tomato, whereas if you use the colors that make up the pad separately you can get a completely different look. I used a Brushstix tool to pick up the color and transfer it to the image. Any little spots that weren't exactly what I wanted were enhanced with the matching Memento Markers. I used the pads and the pens to distress the edges also. Here is a quick card that shows you what I mean.
