Cold Winter Winds...


After all those Spring colours it seems a shame to go back to that cold winter feeling, but just like the weather forecast that is exactly what is happening at the Stamp Something Challenge where we were asked to 'create a sample that reminds you of the cold, winter winds that will soon be leaving us!!'
I sincerely hope they will soon be leaving us as the few days of sunshine we have had recently just make everyone feel so much better.
Anyway for my card I decided to use my trees stamp by Art Impressions stamped in black versefine and then embellished with snow and frost (Sakura White Glaze pen with added fine glitter).
The 'Winter' embossing was created using a Sizzix Simple Impressions folder. Everything is matted on to silver to give a 'cold' feel to the card. The white organza ribbon is also layed over silver ribbon to echo this effect.
Only one challenge covered by this card!!! ~That's blown my week off!!!

Don't take this the wrong way but this gorgeous, simple and yet elegant card has just reminded me I need to do a Sympathy card.
Love the stark of the black & white.
