Thoughts of Winter

I know it's only just Autumn but the image for the Art By MiRan Facebook Challenge is very wintry!

Materials used:SAM_2284(watermarked)
Art By MiRan Digi - Flower Diva Adoncia (See Facebook page for details
stamping card
Copic pens
white fun flock
Hunkydory Snowflake acetate
silver paper
shimmer white paper
Crafters Companion Snowflake Flutter embossing folder
X-cut scalloped oval die
X-cut snowflake die
acrylic greetings stamp
Adirondak black archival ink pad
white paint pen
white A5 card blank

Method:
I printed out my image, and two smaller versions to make ACT's from, then coloured them all in with Copics. I added white fun flock to her stole to make it look fluffy and used a white paint pen to highlight the snowflakes on the image.

I used the stamp and black ink to stamp my greeting at the bottom of the card blank. I embossed a strip of silver paper with the snowflakes embossing folder and attached it across the front of the card and die cut a snowflake from Shimmer White paper. I then used the acetate to make a wrap adhering it to the back of the card and adding a small piece of stick tape to the front underneath where the topper is. Finally I added my topper and the snowflake on top of the acetate.

As I am typing this post up the sunset is making the sky outside my window a beautiful orange colour and there is a little bat flying around, probably after the last of the flies. It is all very restful after a busy day.

Thank you for popping in. Take care.

    Gorgeous card and gorgeous ATCs Pippa, you did a fabulous job putting them together. I really like the addition of the flocking on her stole, and I also love the colour of her hair. She makes me think of... dare I say it... Elsa from Frozen! Well done.
    Cheers,
    Beccy

    A very pretty image, enhanced with your beautiful colors. Really do like the way you've done the silver with the snowflake embossing, and the black center border treatment. Lovely card. On the doors: this is a local company that designs, makes & installs the doors. The lady owner does a lot of glass work - handmade stuff, and has some metallic creations too. Impressive, but a lot of it is not to my taste. We did like the doors, though, and it took her quite a while after a design collaboration to get them done and installed (about 6 months or more). the kids had to pay 50% up front, which did not thrill me, but I kept my lips sealed about my thoughts. DH & I liked their old doors, but these are very unusual and fit in with the community's look of a beach town. Lots of the other houses on their street have these doors, but just different seascapes. TFS & Hugs
