This was a fun and very appropriate challenge considering most of us are in a deep freeze,Melissa! Once I looked at the picture I knew I had to use a tree stamp I had. I was inspired by the icy blues in this photo.

Here's my card I made

I enjoyed doing this challenge and really liked the image that you picked.  On my card I wanted to keep the trees from you image.  Hope you enjoy my card.

I finally got a card done for this challenge.  I wanted a darker blue but I fooled around with this long enough and finally said "good enough" and stopped.  This was an interesting challenge.  My take on the impression was blue, cold, and the reflection.  Thank you for hosting this challenge.

Great card Sadie!!  I love the layout--that was one thing I also forgot to mention in my comment.

What tree stamp is that Sadie?  I am alway looking for nice tree stamps!!   :smitten:

Is "fresco paint" a specific product?

I finished up my project last night while we were waiting for bingo words to be called.  This project was very fun!

I finally posted my piece.  I knew immediately upon looking at the picture that I wanted to combo this with the faux patina, that this would be a birthday card from my Dad (who has been building a model train layout for about 10 years now) and that I would use the Stampendous Christmas postcard stamp that I had.

The impressions I got from the picture were blue, train and oval because of the shape created by the arch of the bridge and it's reflection.

Birthday Train

Thanks for a really cool challenge.

Great card LeighAnn!  I like your take of the oval from the bridge!  And I am still so impressed with the sentiment embellishment!

Is "fresco paint" a specific product?

The tree stamp is a very old stamp that used to be mounted on wood and has been unmounted for many years now.  I did not write the names of the stamp companies on the unmounted stamps so I have no idea what company made them, I am finding out that was a bad idea......

Fresco finish paint is Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Chalk paint....made in the UK by Paper Artsy.  It is an acrylic paint that dries to a matt chalky finish.  It is fast drying and works really well for backgrounds and stamping.  On the youtubes Paper Artsy has lots of videos showing how to use it.  It is just another fun medium, cause you can't have too many fun mediums you know.

Thank you Sadie for letting me know any info you remember---Maybe searching on the internet I can find similar at least....I too am needing to write on the back or something for my unmounted (and even my clings and clear stamps!!) to remember who made what!

I am going to look into the fersco paint---and I am quickly learning from all the fun things y'all all show that you cannot have too many mediums!!!  and I want them all! lol!!   ;D
