On a Calm Winter's Night . . .

Hello Everyone!
WOW!  Here we are in September!
Where is the time going ... just moves along so quickly these days!
I've heard "the older you get the faster it goes' . . .
Well they weren't kidding!  LOL

Anyways, today I have a card to share that was created


 The dies I have used on this creation are:


The Sue Wilson Poinsettia Mini Background comes as a 
three die set.  I used 2 of the 3 dies ... the outer frame and cut
the center out using gold metallic card stock.


Using the 'center cut die', I cut a white panel which I then sponged with Tim Holtz distress inks to create the sky.  Next came my cottage scene which I die cut from white card stock and decorated at the end.  Here's a glimpse of the card before all the final touches were added:


I chose to use Crystal Stickles to add the sparkle of fresh fallen snow to the roof & ground then wanted a pop of color so added Red Stickles to the 'berry' portion of the frame.  Could have easily also added green for the leaves but was afraid of 'overwhelming' this serene scene.


It would also be fun to add this frame to 'sticky paper' and burnish the various areas with red, green & white fine glitter ... how pretty would that be (I'll have to give that a go next time!). Please remember, each an every day of the month there's a new inspiration sample shared on the blog by this fabulous design team.  Please be sure to pop over and check it out!
