I do sometimes wonder how northern countries survive weeks and months of snow!!!
So the girls made snowmen again today, did the snow angels bit and generally wore themselves out .. and then crashed under the duvet watching .. Underground Ernie!!! At that point I escaped upstairs to make a couple of challenge cards.
The first is for the Whiff of Joy challenge (aqua and red)
Henry is watercoloured and then cut out and matted using my nesties. The papers are from a huge stack I was bought by a non-crafting friend in January ... and I think they work really well on this!Onto my next card ... a few challenges for this one:
Simon Says Stamp - Hot Chocolate
Everyone-art-challenge - favourite colour combo ... anything with brown!!
Creative Card Crew - distressing
Stampavie and more - sketch
I watercoloured the image having stamped it in sepia and then distressed it using anique linen, brushed corduroy and walnut stain. I limited some of the ribbon/paper strip elements to brads, as being such a big image (and its a 6"x6" card) it looked to busy. Using sepai I stamped the swilr and star pattern, and added part of a WOJ sentiment to the image. Oh and the papers are Basic Grey Mellow ... well after all those marshmallows and chocolate those meeces will be well mellow!!
