Ice storm in NC

No card today, just a few pics and a video of our ice storm this weekend. Even had a snowplow come through - which has NEVER happened in the 13 years we've lived here!! (We live in a very small town in NC) Luckily, we never lost power. It's melting now!!

Rainbow hummingbird

I've never seen a rainbow hummingbird in real life but since we can do whatever we want in cards, why not? LOL Lots of ink blending on this card. Still waiting for this ice storm to come. Comes tonight!!

Mr. Woodpecker among the birch trees

TIME OUT - Favorite Technique  - I love this technique called the Sgrafitto and you can find it here. I made the background behind the birch trees and the woodpecker.

I Beleaf in You

We're expecting a big ice storm in the Carolina's this weekend and I am not looking forward to being stuck indoors for days!! We're not used to getting this kind of cold weather and for it to last as long as they are saying. I'm counting down the days until my hummingbirds arrive in mid-March!!

A tulip and some circles using the Sgrafitto technique

To make this background of circles, I followed this Sgrafitto tutorial and it was very easy to do. https://youtu.be/riTiqhWOCsM
