my relation to snow is ambivalent… i don´t love snow slush or when it freezes to slithery ice… but of course there is the fascination of the wonderful snowfall that dampens the noise and creates a deep silence over the landscape… this photo is from a previous year, we had not much snow so far this winter.
for showing the text better (“silent night…” on kim´s new texture rejoice) i set the “rejoice 2” on inverse… tree brushed free via layer mask.

only two days of texture left… i already know i will have withdrawal symptoms;)
on this photo with ceramic ornaments i applied kim´s texture of today “providence” twice. added a layer mask to brush free the ornaments.

i just love it when all comes together so well (serendipity, actually…) – this morning we had sunny weather and a bit snow (after some aweful windy days). having monday my day off from school, i took the camera to make a little morning walk. this weathercock was the first picture i shot… ha, perfect for today´s offer at kim´s blog…
i applied the new texture “storm” twice and stamped the matching text brush (blending mode: overlay). i felt it needed a little something on the lower right, so i stamped another brush with little opacity there. done!
