Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

The challenge this week at Cupcake Crafts is to sing a Christmas carol which combines nicely with the challenge at Pink Elephant which is to use your favorite Christmas colour combination.  This card is following an old sketch from Everybody Art Challenge that I never entered.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is embossed in white and simply states "Winter Wonderland".  The paper used is from one of my favorite lines this season - Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses.  The stamp featured is Clara from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.


Clara's skirt is paper pieced and her scarf and cuffs are touched up with US Artquest mica paints.  I love the co-ordinating papers which made it easy to choose a variety for both the front and inside.



The inside was stamped with flourishes from Close to My Heart in Stampin' Up pink pirouette ink and then traced with two way glue and sprinkled with dazzling diamonds.

Thank you for looking!
