The Skaters

Wow first post for 2014 and it is nice to be inside as it is freezing outside.  We have not had a winter as cold as this for quite a few years.  We were so lucky that we didn't lose our power in the ice storm.  Many of our friends were without power for several days, not very pleasant with no heat or water.  Because it is so cold my next card is a reminder that it is still winter here!

I have created this card using a sketch from Mojo Monday I did a bit of flipping of the original and this is what I came up with:

Original -                                                          

My Version - 

I chose the square card -

I coloured the image from Sassy Cheryl's with copics.  adding some silver glitter from Recollections to the falling snow, the ice and around the edge of the oval.  The pink DP is from Recollections and so are the Dimensional Sticker snowflakes.  The grey\blue DP is from Cardmaking and Papercrafting Magazine.

I was able to pick up some of the shine from the glitter on the oval and from the snowflakes.

I am entering this winter card into the following challenges:

The Trees

This is probably my last post before the New Year.  Two more Christmas Cards:  these were based on a sketch in the back of the Scrapbook and Cards Magazine.  I used my Tim Holtz Tree Die and used various coloured cardstock to cut them out.  I used different cardstock for the background of each card. I added different chipboard stickers to the right side of each card.  I made several more, but only took pictures of two.

Wishing all A Happy New Year - 2014 is not far away!

I am entering the first card in the following challenges.
