PAPERTAKE WEEKLY CHALLENGE - GDT - 'Baby Its Cold Outside'

Brrrr!!!! everyone 

It is the Papertake Weekly Challenge again.  There is a very apt heme entitled 'Baby Its Cold Outside'  Looking out of the window here it is very white and frosty and snow is still falling!

I decided to use my new Digi image from Cuddly buddly and coloured it with Copics and lots of Stickles, adding white stuff and glitter for the snow.  The nice thing about this Challenge is that if you opt to make a Christmas card it will also fit the Challenge over at Christmas Cards All Year Round where the theme this month is 'Anything Goes'

ON A MISSION

Back again,

Well I have been on a mission to make one or two little flat cards.  I am most disgruntled that the postage is rising soon in UK, and I am sure I am not alone so I set myself a little Challenge.  This is the first one I have come up with so I wonder what you think?  It is really hard not to clart them up with the lovely embellishments but it had to be really flat for flat rate postage.  Flat to me means pretty boring and I must admit it was pretty boring to make too!   So - not a ribbon bow, flower or pearl in sight!  I am thinking to do this successfully the image and the papers really must take the lead, I must remember that when I do the next one.

Die-cuts:  Nestabilities, Memory Box and Marianne

Stamp:  Cuddly Buddly stamp and the image has been coloured by a very dear friend of mine.
