Winter Wonderland

Hello.

I'm back in my comfort zone today, with a little, winter scene.

I really love background dies, with a stitched edge. I think they add such a pretty and subtle detail. Here I used a diagonal stitch rectangle and some stitched hillside borders. Then I added my die cut trees and popped up my animals with foam tape.

I wasn't brave enough to stamp the sentiment right onto the card, so it's on a little strip instead. 

To finish, I added a few snowflakes, and some glitter to the trees.

Inspired by Challenge

I was inspired by... the white background, the green trees, the reindeer and snowflakes and the black sentiment

Do you fancy a giggle?
Head over to this week's Less Is More challenge, where the theme is 'Humour'.
Here's my entry...

This cute girl, is part of a Stamping Bella couple - you can just make out where their arms were linked - but shhhh - don't tell anyone   :-)

Sequins seem to be popular right now, and I found some lurking at the bottom of my sewing box.
This meant I had to go with red - not my favourite Copics to use, but I think I've discovered the trick.
When colouring, I left a narrow border all along the inside of my image. Then, when I had finished blending, I just went back and carefully filled in the border. 
And it worked - no bleeding outside the image :-)
