Hello Winter

  I have to admit, winter is not my favourite time of year, but it has some absolutely gorgeous days! You know the ones.....when there has been a fresh, wet snow fall that sticks to the trees and the sun is shining and the sky is clear and blue. The sun is glistening off the snow and it looks like little diamonds everywhere, it is literally a winter wonderland. 

These are the winter days I enjoy and I have tried to capture that in my card using "Forest (TSG006)" from the new Woodland Winter release and the adorable "Winter Moose (SDG002". My dog doesn't like the salt on the sidewalks so he often doesn't want to go for a long walk even on the most beautiful days so I often try to sneak a bit of one in on my lunch on a walking trail that goes beside my office. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is truly beautiful! 

                                                             

After using my Misti to do the stamping, I coloured both of them with Copic markers. I hand fussy cut the moose, and used a white gel pen to add some gently falling snow to the forest. I wanted to keep my card design simple for this one and used some patterned paper from the Sugar Plums pad by Doodlebug. 

I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a fish tail banner die and added some enamel dots to finish off my card.
