Well it's snowing in the North, poor things. I heard one chap on the lunchtime news say
" I've still got a sun tan from last week!"
Tee hee!! No wonder we Brits talk about the weather so much !
Susan at Simplicity has challenged us, for OLW 85, to make a one layer card for Christmas but we shouldn't use any sentiment. So I had a play
Do you recognise this little guy? :0)
The stamps are Tapestry and a definite favourite, love their stamps. I can't find them on their site I think they are probably discontinued. :{
Apart from a little glitter gel pen it's simply masking and inking with distress inks! I hope you're warm wherever you are, thanks for looking Gay x
Beautiful, whistful and gentle.EE

ReplyDeleteStunning, Gay. Just gorgeous. I love the snowy panel in the middle.
ReplyDeleteYep, snow with a sun tan, that's me too. I was feeling lovely and healthy after shaking off my winter pallor and now we're back in jumpers and hats and looking at snow!!!!! Only in Britain. Still at least we have power which is more than some poor folks.
