Winter wonderland–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you’ve had a good week so far, mine hasn’t been great but I can’t go into details – suffice to say I’ll be glad when it’s over!!  I’m here this morning to share my DT card for this week’s winter wonderland challenge and I have the honour of setting the theme this week.  I decided to challenge myself and choose a theme that is the complete opposite of most of my cards – therefore the theme this week is “clean & simple Christmas card”.  Here is my card:

WW #19 - CAS Christmas card

WW #19 - Christmas card (close up)

I have used a super cute image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Hattie & Buddy’ and coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  I haven’t used any patterned paper only plain cardstock for matting and I crimped the base card for a bit of added interest.  I only added some twine and a punched snowflake and I was done.  I have to say that I really like this card, even though it is so different to my normal cards, but it does look ten times better IRL – honest!

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a $15.00 gift voucher to spend in their online store (p&p not included).
