Winter Wonderland

We woke to some snow this morning on local hills- which is a first in the 10 years we've been here in New Zealand- Which means my kids had never seen snow, so we went up the valley to Tunnel Gully to see the snow :-)

Inspired by the really wintery weather I've made this card for the Paper Players CAS Sketch Challenge.
I didn't keep it very simple I'm afraid- I love my glitter and ribbon too much.
I've brayerd and sponged the scene, using masking and the tree from the Lovely as a Tree set (SU). Then I've added some Iridescent white powder and dazzling Diamonds and some green Stickles.
The photo's not the best- light is at a premium, beacuse of the wintery weather. Stay warm.

Summer Holidays

Hazel has picked the theme for this fortnights challenge at the Craft Room is Summer Holidays.... now obviously I'm still in the depths of winter here in New Zealand... We even had snow here yesterday which is very unusual- but pleased my kids, who'd never seen snow before.
So I the colours on my card are really bright!!!

I can't wait to see what you come up with this challenge- as the Butterfly entries have been gorgeous.

Holiday Dreams

Over at Just Add Ink this week they're asking us to take inspiration from this photo:

I started dreaming of Italy straight away....... nevermind :-)
For me this kind of photo is always going to inspire me to want to create a scene card. I'm happy with how the card's turned out. As always I love to hear what you think?

Details:

Stamp Sets (All SU): Elements of style, Afterthoughts.

Wishing you all a great week.
