Things with Wings

Good Morning to you,

Well we have had load of snow overnight and it is so quiet in the village, nothing is moving both ways out of the village are steep hills and they are covered in snow, we haven't had the gritter round, but the sun keeps peeping through so it looks like it may thaw quickly.  Anyway it definitely looks like a crafting day, so that can't be bad.

We have a new challenge for you over at My Time to Craft,  and this week's challenge is

"Things with Wings"

I must admit I decided that this year if I could make a Christmas card to fit my DT challenges I would, so I wouldn't have to be rushing at the end of the year.  I only discovered this beautiful digi image after Christmas and have been itching to use it, I love the finished effect and decided it needed only a minimum of embellishments.


Card Recipe:

Digi Image - Delicious Doodles
Colouring Medium - Copics
Papers and Sentiment - Lili of the Valley
Extras - Gold ric rac and bow, stickles

Challenges Entered:

Dutch Dare Challenge - Winged Things
ABC Christmas Challenge - B for Bows or Boys
