How appropriate! Our Sassy challenge today is SNOW! Why is it so perfect for today?
- I love snow!
- We’re supposed to get 3-5 inches today!!!
This might be a little longer post than usual because I have lots to share with you
Sunday we had a Hoarfrost..it’s so beautiful when that happens, I had to take a few pictures! It was 8*!
A deposit of ice crystals formed in the same manner as dew except that the temperature of the objects on which it forms must be below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and the dew point temperature of the air must also be below the freezing mark.
I’m sure Cheryl didn’t have me in mind when she drew this Winter image, but I can so relate!! LOL
She’s colored with Copics, white gel pen highlights, masked and airbrushed.
Here are the steps as I created this background.
I colored her first, made a mask from copy paper and using 2-way glue put it over the image.
Clicking on a picture will bring it up larger in another window
Peeled off the mask and voila! Then I added some puff paint and heated it to puff it up.
Always start with lighter colors and work to darker. Imagine where there might be shadows and get closer or spray the area several times until you get the desired look. Work in a sweeping motion for best effect. I never know what it’s going to look like until I peel the off the mask! haha!

What a wonderful post, Dawn! Not only are your paper creations spectacular but those beautiful photos of the hoarfrost stopped me in my tracks. I certainly learned something new about frost today... thank you so much for sharing those photos of the Lord's handiwork with all of us!
I hope you enjoy today's snowstorm!
Love the background Dawn, thanks for a super tutorial on how you achieved it! the snow pictures are awesome!
Dawn,
I have never seen an airbrush background that was a stunning as yours is on this card!! It is incredible! Thank you for showing the steps. You used so many unexpected ( to me ) colours.
Your colouring is beautiful and those snowflakes with the added puff paint just finish your card to perfection.
Your card is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing your frost pictures - an other wonderful site and so beautiful!!!
Hugs, Candy
Hi Dawn~
What amazing photography! Try as we may, we will never be able to completely replicate His art, will we? Beautiful photos. Thank you for showing the steps to your amazing card. I can imagine you going out and posing just like the girl on the card! She looks completely happy to have no school, and just spend the day out in the elements!
Thank you so much for this post. This is the winter that we get...from photos of others. Spectacular!

Unbelievable! Your photos & your technique. Hmmm methinks I'll have to cave and get the airbrush and masking stuff one day. You are just TOO good!!!
I really like your stamping and masking picture but I love the pictures of the hoarfrost - it looks like a lot of glossamer butterfly wings!
Your photos of the hoarfrost are spectacular. Thanks for sharing those! Your tutorial on the airbrush background is much appreciated, too. A great job - it looks like a cold, wintry day but the gal is well dressed for it and appears to be enjoying it.
This is gorgeous, Dawn! Thanks for the tutorial. I would love to try this!
