I had it in my mind to make a city scene at Christmas so I rather randomly painted a piece of watercolor paper w\/ greens &amp; reds. I used Brushos &amp; mixed the powders in a plastic palette before dropping them, wet into wet, onto the w\/c paper. I used a heat gun to quickly dry it &amp; this stopped the color from totally blending out &amp; gave me some hard edges &amp; the splotches I was looking for. After it was dry, I die cut it. I also die cut a piece of scratch paper &amp; used the negative top part as a mask &amp; sponged in the background buildings before popping the die cut version up w\/ fun foam &amp; attaching it. Before I put it all on the slimline card front, I splattered it w\/ white acrylic paint, then stamped the greeting (new &amp; also soon to be released!). A narrow stitched hill was attached on top to represent snow on the ground. I dotted some of the snow w\/ stickles for a little sparkle.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34305\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-34305\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"522\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423.jpg 1064w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423-400x303.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423-600x454.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423-175x132.jpg 175w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Christmas-City-cuIMG1423-768x581.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Thank so much for stopping by!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-12715\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Supplies:<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 89.28859812933052%;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody id=\"collapseobj_photoinfo\">\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;
