Snowlady

Yet another week has raced on by, therefore it is time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty. This time our challenge couldn't be easier...on your creation just...

'ADD A SENTIMENT'

This could be for any occasion; Christmas, birthday, anniversary, baby, get well, etc.

We have 2 generous sponsors this week, who are offering great prizes.

and

I was asked to choose any image from the wonderful range of images from

Fred She Said Designs. It was difficult to narrow my choice down to just one,

but I finally chose this ever so sweet digi, Snow Lady-Light Up Your Holidays.

She was a delight to colour, and I think is destined to become one of my favourite

Christmas images. I smothered all my snowflakes with Stickles Star Dust.

A closer look at Snow Lady.

I sponged Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on the panel inside my card, and punched

a snowflake border into a narrow panel of the lovely blue DP. It has VERY subtle

snowflakes and checks, and is the most beautiful quality. Sadly, I only bought one 

12x12 sheet about 4 years ago at a clearance sale in a hall, and have procrastinated

about using it. (Yes, I have confessed to you all that I am a hopeless paper addict!).

The 3 tiny snowflakes are the negatives from the punched border...I keep all of these

(in many colours), in a tiny, clear container. 

I downloaded this fabulous font from a freebie site when I bought my first

computer, many years ago, and promptly forgot all about it until I bought

a new computer recently. I am sorry, but I cannot remember the source.

Side-on view of my card.
