This morning when I opened my computer, the screen wallpaper was a beautiful evening photo of a snowy village in a valley of the Alps. It was predominately blue, and it inspired me to enter three of the current challenges, using my favorite tiny house dies from Alexandra Renke. I'm entering Time Out Challenges #305: Favorite Card Making Technique; Color Hues #125: Blue and White; and Inkspirational Challenge #359: Shades of Blue. WOW!
My favorite card making technique (besides CAS) is constructing tiny landscapes using layers of dies and paper scraps. I've done many of these miniature scenes over the years and I have a special fondness for tiny houses. The background of this scene is a last small scrap of a favorite Christmas paper that I've been hoarding to use for the perfect winter sky - when I say 'small' I really mean it! This scrap barely filled the opening of my 1-5/8" x 2-7/8" rectangular die. The layered trees are from a Tim Holtz "Forest Shadows" die that I cut and pieced.

That scrap of paper was the perfect backdrop for this darling little village! Love this card so much, Fran!
