Good morning folks.
The sun is shining and Al says its really mild if a little windy out there this morning.
Don't really want snow before Christmas as the kids will be travelling over for Christmas Day and I would only worry about how they would get here!
I don't mind the snow if I have no where to go and the larder and fridge are full. Two years ago we were snowed in for a week as the snow collected in the drive to a depth of 3 feet and our miserable neighbour refused to help clear it so we drove across the frozen field after 5 days to get some shopping as the roads were clear! A delivery guy tried to deliver a parcel 3 times and had to take a photo to prove to his bosses that he couldn't get down the drive! The pleasures of living in the sticks.
Anyway down to business. I wanted to take part in a couple of challenges and they came together with this effort.
The stamp is one of my favourite LOTV stamps that has had it's first inking this year for this card. I used Copics to colour and added a little Glossy Accents to the coals and Stickles on the bobble hats and foreground snow. I added extra snow on the hats using Cosmic Shimmer white PVA. The background snow was made using my Cuttlebug embossing folder, falling snow. I added some snowdrifts behind the image and fussy cut the family retaining the bottom of the panel as further snow.
Thanks for popping round and I hope you have a great Christmas. x
What a cute little snowman family! They look so happy to be frolicking about in the snow!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable snow family. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI panicked for a minute Julie, thinking you'd had snow today....then I read your blog, phew!! The long term forecast keeps threatening prolonged snow and blizzards, but we shall see!! Love your snowy family and what would we do without that cuttlebug folder!! xx

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a kind note. Your card today is wonderful! I love the simple design, the bright colors on the scarves and hats and the dimension you've added with the snow embossing folder. This will surely make the recipient smile!
