But, I've given it another go and I'm actually quite pleased with the result. I don't know what I did differently this time and I'm sure I won't be able to do it again, but this is what I used and how I did it:
I tore a piece of copy paper to form snowdrifts and put a 2p sized circle at the top of my card where the moon was going to be. I placed the copy paper at the bottom of the card and inked up my brayer with Adirondack Winter Sky. I used a Clarity stamp to put the clouds in place in front of the moon. I then stamped the trees in place. The stamp is called 'A grove of trees' and it's by Art Impressions. I added a bit of glitter to the trees but I don't think this shows up on the photo. To give the impression of snow peaks I used my torn piece of copy paper and a make up sponge. The sentiment stamp is from Elzybells. I mounted the picture onto some dark blue card and then onto a 6 x 6 white card blank.
Well, that's it - nothing like the cards Barbara makes, but I did enjoy making it. I'm sure the brayer'll now go back into the drawer now until Barbara's next show on C&C or the NEC in March.
Bye for now.x

This is just beautiful, Sue! I love the brayered sky, and those soft snow peaks are perfect. I really like the effect in front of the moon too. You should definitely keep your brayer out a bit longer, your work is stunning! x
Wow this is stunning Sue! You've done a fab job. Love the trees!

I agree with Kerry, I don't know why you feel you haven't mastered it, your card is lovely and to my mind beautifully done.
Hi, this is so beautiful.
Thanks for your comments Sue on my blog. Yes I did use the brushes on my Snowman card,a much softer finish.
This is an absolute stunner!
OMG . . . I LOVE this card. I know EXACTLY how you feel about seeing Barbara Grey in action and then feeling totally inadequate with your own attempts at doing SOMETHING with your brayer! Great job here though! Keep going.
