Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I’ve been wanting to use the beautiful Winged Pair cling stamp (40-908) for a while and when I saw this week’s sketch, I knew it would be perfect! I coloured the image with my Twinkling H2O paints and masked off the birds as I sponged a little distress ink across the background and added some splatters.

I used my new Blizzard embossing folder (65-013) for the background strip and sponged a little white ink to highlight the snowflakes – they are so pretty! (I’m not sure why my cards are appearing darker at the bottom – it must be the lighting – I need to look at my set up… maybe I’ll do this over the Christmas break!)

I trimmed down the image panel and stamped a sentiment from the Flurry mini set (30-927) before arranging everything on my 7×5 card base.

To complete my card, I added glitter to the branches – I hope you can see it, so difficult to capture in real life!

Thanks for stopping by!
