From Our House To Your House

 

Stamper's Delights run a progressive freebie challenge on the Facebook Group. If you take part there is a free digi pack that you can get the following month. I really like Janice's images and have quite a collection so lucky to have many to choose from.

I chose Xmas Scene to make this card. I did really well making Christmas cards all through last year and will be doing the same this year to. Creating with glitter and twinkle for me is the best antidote to these crazy times and Christmas cards scream twinkle to me ☺

The image has been printed out quite large as I wanted to make it into an 8" square card. I have coloured it mainly with Arteza pencils. My sister got them for my birthday in September and this is the largest image I have done to date with them. I'm not very subtle with my colouring yet but this is definitely better with shading. I have also used Promarkers for solid colouring and my Spectrum Noir Glitter Markers for lots of sparkle.

The sky has been coloured using watered down glitter markers but they have very few colours at the moment. In a flash of inspiration I remembered I have a load of Twinkling H20's (remember them?). This added extra shading to the sky and also a shimmering background to the snowy ground.

I added Stickles glitter glue to the piles of snow and some silver peel off snowflakes falling from the sky. The image has been matted onto some dark blue card.

The card front has been covered using a patterned paper that was a magazine freebie from Kanban. I used one of the sentiments from the digi pack and cut a mount from blue cardstock using the Grace Frame die from Crafter's Companion. This is actually one of the very first dies I ever bought......oh dear what did that start eh?

I added some large snowflakes cut from scraps of holographic card using a Create a Flake die from Spellbinders and added some large blue gems in the centres.

We have actually had quite a bit of snow this morning. It was lovely to go for a walk in a park further down the street, see the beautiful trees in the woods laden with snow and seeing so many little children out playing in it. I managed to build a little snowman too. I couldn't find any stones in the woods so it has holly leaves for fluttering eyelashes LOL. I sat it on a bench and one of our neighbours said she saw it and it made her smile
