Happy 'Hump Day' Blogging Friends!
Yep here we are mid week once again and it's time for another fun challenge at
Today it's all about WINTER SNOWFLAKES.
We've certainly had our fair share of snowflakes here in Ohio this winter.
Luckily, being retired, I can stay in my warm house and just look out at how pretty it is! But I do remember a few years back in my youth ... the fun my sister's & I would have in the winter months sledding and skating. I never was very good on my ice skates ... that's why I now use them as a decoration hanging over the front of my sled on the front porch during the holidays! LOL!
For today's card, I created the background by stamping a couple different snowflake stamps with craft white ink & Brillance ice blue ink onto my navy blue card stock base. For my focus image, I used the Thomas Kinkade 'skater's pond' stamp.
My NEW ice skates die is from Marianne (LR0247).
