Winter Cheer

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! And I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! We had a little warm up & our Christmas day was sunny & mild. It's surely just the calm before the storm & winter will make a full comeback in January. I thought a little winter card would be nice. I put thank you on the inside but it could just as well be a winter birthday card. 

Had to take the pictures flat because this navy bg is one of those colors that defy picture taking. I have a couple of colors that the camera just goes haywire trying to capture the color & this is one. Flat like this, it comes out fine & hopefully you can see the silver snowflakes & silver embossed greeting, too. The snowflakes were stamped w/ the silver ink, but I didn't emboss them..just heat set them.

For the ice skates,  I stamped them on the lighter blue/gray c/s & used Prismacolor Pencils on them. I have really enjoyed using the pencils on different colors of c/s lately & this color seemed to work out well for the skates. A few silver punched snowflakes were added to finish.

Here's the inside:
