I have completely fallen for the new image from Phindy's Place, called A Place to Pause, very beautiful, very serene. I found it didn't need much colouring, I made the stained glass windows as vibrant as I could and added Glossy Accents to them and to the lamps on the bridge.
I saw some lovely cards on sale with notched corners but was too stingy to buy them :), so I've used a small circle punch to make my own version, measuring out on the back and marking lightly with a pencil. I like the effect, what do you think? The DPs are Magnolia ones that I bought last year and loved so much I didn't use them. I've since decided this is a daft idea, stroke them, love them, then USE them is what I should do! I've added a Craftwork Cards sentiment, some snowflakes and sprigs of leaves cut with my new MS border punch. And that's it, pretty simple.
My card is for the following challenges:
Sketch Saturday - sketch
A Spoonful of Sugar - snow/snowflakes
ABC Christmas - winter wonderland
Creative Cottage Challenge - someone special at Christmas
ABC Challenge - H is for Holidays
Cute Card Thursday - anything goes
Sassy Studio Designs - anything goes
Paper Sundaes - let it snow
