Isn't this snow couple just gorgeous? It's called Snow Love and it's one of my absolute favourites, I think they're so sweet :o) I've coloured the image with a combination of promarkers, flexmarkers and koh-i-noor pencils... I was going for a vintage sepia feel which I thought was working quite well, but when Dex saw the finished image he said 'teddy bears!' lol, so maybe it ended up a bit too brown? I've added lots of glamour dust too.
The card blank is 7" square, papers are GCD Studios Joyful Peace with dark brown cardstock from Papermill Direct. Wooden snowflakes from my stash, covered in glossy accents and then glamour dust, red pearls also from my stash. The sentiment was computer generated - the font is called Chocolate Box I think. This card is one that my 'stepsister' asked me for - my mum and her dad got married earlier this year and she wanted a special card for them, hope this will be ok!
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Craft Your Days Away - snowmen
- CES Challenges - a traditional Christmas
- Totally Gorjuss - let it snow
- Stampin' For The Weekend - Christmas
- PaperPlay Challenges - snowman
- DYSU - something old
- Creative Inspirations - snow much fun
- My Mum's Craft Shop - traditional Christmas
- My Time To Craft - vintage Christmas
I'm definitely starting with Dex's cold - it's very inconvenient, I just haven't got the time to be ill! Soooo much to do - somehow I need to make all the cards and pressies for teachers/ nursery staff, and cards for Dex and Morgan's classmates, before they finish at the end of next week... should be fun trying to cram all that in, and I can't even decide what to make for pressies!
Back later with my Sweet Stampin' DT card :o)

Wow, love your card! The sepia effect works really well and your colouring of the snow couple is fab, I always really struggle with colouring things that are white as the shading is hard but you've done a fab job.
Gorgeous card and great sepia colouring. Hope your cold doesn't last too long.

Your card is absolutely stunning Lisa. Thanks for joining us at Totally Gorjuss this week, hugs Sharon
this is lovely, im sure your step sis will be pleased x
This is gorgeous, Lisa; it has a PERFECT vintage feel, I don't think your snowmen are too brown, the way they're drawn gives a slight teddy bear "softness" to them which is what makes them SOOOO sweet. Congrats on the DT, and the font is definitely Chocolate Box ;-) Donna xx
