(Don't) Let It Snow!

I've probably picked the wrong subject for today's card as I expect most of you are fed up with the snow by now!  This winter scene even began to lose its appeal for me when I heard the weather forecast at teatime, as it would seem that SW Scotland may not avoid the snow after all!  Apparently it's due overnight and tomorrow  - I do hope they're wrong!

I really enjoyed making this card!  I don't use my Edwin stamps nearly enough so he was lovely to colour with my Copics.  I masked him and stamped the Magnolia winter scene over the top, then cut it out by hand.  I added a good  dose of Glamour Dust over Edwin's wings and the snowy bits to complete the image.

The background paper is by Memory Box and is probably my favourite from this winter paper pack.  The soft blues combine perfectly with the blues in the Tilda Frosted Bluegreen paper pack (got mine from Cuddly Buddly), so I cut out a square of blue and white paper and went around it with a Martha Stewart PATP.  Between the image and the fancy square I added a strip of ribbon - I've had this for ages and it was in a set but I can't remember exactly who made it - could it be KI Memories?  Anyway, the colours were just what I was looking for and I had enough to make the bow at the side of the card.  Finally I punch out a Magnolia circle Christmas sentiment and tucked it in between the frilly square and the background paper.

I'm going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Stampin' for the Weekend - Winter

Totally Gorjuss - Tree (front left of card!)

Cupcake Challenge - Light It Up

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Punches

Hope to be back over the weekend with a card or two, depending on how much school work I bring home.

Take care, keep warm and stay safe on those roads,
