Allow to dry or use heat gun to dry. Mask flower with a sticky note and follow same procedure for leaves. Allow to dry.

This Christmas card featured on the PoppyStamps' blog is so beautiful. The designer thought she should conjure up something "icy cold" with the current heat we're all experiencing.

Our friend Sherry Barello has been very busy. Her artwork is always amazing and I know you'll enjoy it all. I've sized everything "extra large" so you could see the detail in her artwork.

| by Sherry Barello of Rainier, Washington This was a card she made for her sister's 37th birthday; "37 owls and a million leaves". |
 |
| by Sherry Barello of Rainier, Washington I believe the chickens are drawn free-hand; the chicken wire background is a Tim Holtz stencil Sherry purchased at Art 'n Soul. VersaMark ink is used on the stencil and embossed with silver embossing powder. The chicken is painted with acrylics and zentangled™ with sharpie pens, black paint and white pen. |

| by Sherry Barello of Rainier, Washington She drew this right after the owl card; this one features 9 cats in the garden! |
 |
| by Sherry Barello of Rainier, Washington This was the birthday present to her sister; it's an acrylic on a 16x20 canvas. Of course, her sister loved it! |

Thank you, Sherry, for allowing us to share your amazing artwork with our readers.
