Winter wonderland with Michelle's Snow Godess

I've bit a little quiet on the blogging front lately, work has been a bit hectic and I've been trying to get ahead with some DT stuff too. I'd planned to post this first thing but I've been a little distracted this morning as postie brought a huge parcel full of ribbons from Crafty Ribbons and I've been oohing and ahhing over them all morning. I'm addicted to grab bags and I ordered 3, a bag of bits, and Bev's Bag which is a regular special offer - WOW, I never saw so much ribbon in my life.

Anyway, today's card is another Christmas card using Snow Godess from Michelle Perkett


I just love this image, she is gorgoeus isn't she? I've coloured her with promarkers and added some diamond stickles to the berries. The background is made using 3 layers of torn card with the edges glittered with Glenda's snowflake glitter. I always chuckle at that cos its not Glenda's, its mine lol. The snowy hills are layered over a brayered sky. I masked the moon and stamped a snow stamp over with versamark and then brayered using the blueygreen end of Hydrangea Big&Juicy inkpad. I also embossed the snowy sky with a little clear sparkle EP. I had a 'happy accident' a while ago and found that where the post it mask has been stays a little sticky and holds embossing powder - I love this effect, it added a sparkly side to the moon.

To finish off, I added some pale blue organza ribbon and a metallic sentiment (I have to confess that was to cover up a blob of glue lol, don't you hate it when you get a card finish and realise you've done that??)

I'm entering Snow Godess in the following challenges:
Bah Humbug: Winter Wonderland
Passion 4 Promarkers: Winter blues
Sew Many Challenges: Christmas in August
Creative Cottage: Christmas
ABC challenge: B is for blue
Winter Wonderland: Walking in a winter wonderland

I'm still doing a happy dance about joining Michelle Perkett Studio's DT, you still have time to join in our challenge this week. Its a very easy one - Anything goes using one of Michelles images but if you pop over to her groups on PCP, SNR and CDAC there are some lovely freebies!!

Thanks for calling by, hope you are having a good weekend.
