Before l start my post today l hope you all stayed safe in the storms and did'nt have any damage.
Good morning my lovely friends, today sees the start of the new challenge over at Winter Wonderland - still time for those last christmas cards minute cards. The challenge this time is
Embossing
Lots of options there then, team Snowflake have some stunning inspiration to share with you over on the challenge blog here along with the details. I have used embossing powder around the image and just heated it and it gives a lovely snowy effect, l have also heat embossed the sentiment. This is one of the bargain stamps l got at half price at the Harrogate show in october and she is a doll to colour- is'nt she pretty?

Your cards always combine so many pretty elements to create the 'whole'...it's a joy to look around & see how well each item blends with everything else. This is indeed a delightful image, and you colored it so beautifully. I enlarged the photos and your 'snow' embossing really gleamed just like the real stuff when the sun hits it. I am especially loving the lace & brilliant poinsettia too! TFS & Hugs. Hope your weather is good. We in the South are safe from the ice, but our Midwestern & Northern states are being hammered with ice and low temps.
It's gorgeous,love your idea of embossing the edges x
A very sweet image and a gorgeous card. Beautiful soft colouring Susan, so sweet. As for storms, we had lots of wind and I now have a tree at a jaunty angle but otherwise we escaped the worst. Jx
