My pinch is clear embossing powder, as this is the closest to salt in appearance and was ideal to create a frosty look on a tree.
I inked the Crafty Individuals stamp (CI-429) with pens, which allowed me to avoid some of the branches (the "frosty" ones) and embossed with clear EP.
With a brayer I applied blue ink over the top, making sure the top of the sky is darker than the horizon.
And that is it really.... It looks a bit drab but winter landscapes do look grey and, of course, my photo is suffering of a lack of proper sunlight!
And with Christmas round the corner it's time for me to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
As always a super creation Christine.
