The very artistic Mary wanted to see Mixed Media and Trees, so I have certainly managed that. The stencil I used is from Imagination and was a lovely gift from my dear friend Kate. I used structure paste on the stencil first and of course I had to wait till it dried before I could paint it, the gold stars were using the Starlight paints again from Imagination and they are so fantastic to work with too. I added a few bits of Iced Snow around just to complete the Christmas card. Furiously trying to knit to get my orders done as I am so far behind this year compared to last year. Hope you are all well and keeping busy at this time of year. Hugs Rita xxxx

Christmas Card Challenge Mixed Media & Trees
Hello Everyone. Firstly can I apologise to to Mary for being a wee bitty late with today's challenge. Best laid plans of mice and Men.... My hands have been giving me gip in this cold weather, although today its sunshine all the way.

Just awesome. What an intricately designed stencil and you've used it to excellent effect with this lovely card. This particular stencil must have been a bit fiddly to get all the paste into the little openings and you've got some nice shading in the colors as well. And I love the snow shadows on the tree branches and puffy snow piled on the ground. Quite wonderful & beautiful. TFS & Hugs
beautiful work Rita - love this - hope your hands feel better soon! Hugs rachel x
Stunning card Rita. I never though to use a stencil. I love your snowy effect. It'd been really cold here today and my hands are frozen even with mitts on. hugs Mrs A.
