Monday Playing

 We got up to quite heavy snow this morning and the girls were hopeful that school would be shut - I was pleased it wasn't as it gave me a couple of hours crafting before starting work :)



I coloured Nikki in using my pens, and then cut her out. Some of my DT teamie and I did a diecut swap before Christmas, so I used the fence from that swap to create the scene. I simply die cut the tree, added the fence and then some torn cardstock in front to create the snowy scene.  I added stickles and pearl to create snow and ice, and added a snowflake swirl to the corner.  I chose this spotty dp to give the impression of snow.

ANother tall CAS card - I think I am getting the hang of them!! I die cut 3 squares and added washi tape to them, before putting them on foam pads and attaching to the embossed background.  I stamped and diecut the butterfly, curled its wings and popped it onto the bottom square.  That was it really.

Welcome to the "Totally Teal" Challenge at Craft Your Passion Cathy... I really like your coloring - the shadows and highlights in her hair and clothing are really well done! I like the die cuts of the fence and tree with that spotted DP too - good choice!
