Celebrating Winter with Spesch

For us Canadians, winter cards may seem a tad out of place this time of year.  However for Spesch Designer Stamps, an Australian company, this is their winter - although for most of us, their winter is a lovely mild summer day!  In celebration of their latest release, I dragged out paper from the Eskimo Kisses line by Basic Grey to use with this beauty:


I have followed the current skech at Lili of the Valley and used my copics (of course).  The image was just a tad too tall for the Spellbinders Nestabilities, so I popped her hat out.  I debated embellishing with Wild Orchid flowers on the card, but I'm unsure whether flowers and winter go together.

So, anyone want a chance to win a $6 gift certificate to Spesch Stamps?  In order to qualify, I would like you to leave a comment below and tell me two things:

1. Do you use flowers on winter cards?

2. What is your favorite Spesch image?

On Saturday, June 19th EST I will use random.org to select a winner from all the qualifying commenters. 

Please check out the fantastic card creations by the rest of the design team - you are sure to be AMAZED!

Great colouring & I love the paper! The only flower I have used on a Xmas card is a Pointsetta. It's so hard to choose my favorite Spesch stamp but I think right now it would have to be a toss up between "Cool Dude" or or "Kei with Butterfly"

Fabulous card! I love that image, and given the weather in my neck of the woods lately it might as well be winter here LOL!
ok, and your questions: Yes, I use flowers on winter cards, but more often I use snowflakes. and as for favorite image, I think this one takes the cake :-)
