The Begining and Pretty Pressings Challenge

Well I wasn't quite sure how to start my blog, then the other day I was visiting Claudia's blog "Pretty Pressings" (I visit every day, can't help myself, I love her cards) and saw she had a sketch and challenge. So I thought what better way to start than that (plus I get to make a start on my Christmas cards). So here's my take on her sketch.






















There are two pictures, one taken with a flash and one without, and I'm not happy with either. The grey lines are actually glitter and are supposed to look like little snow mounds there is also glitter on the snowballs but you can't really see. And there are crystal snowflakes on the die cut snowflakes, again they don't show up up well. I did a bit of cross stitch to match the stitching on Tilda's jumper and gloves. The fir trees are stamped with versafine Olympic Green and then I used Sakura GellyRoll white pen on them to make it look like snow. Hope you like it :)
