Winter Friends Take 2

Good Afternoon

After making yesterdays card, I had quite a bit of left over backing paper on my desk.  I also had another look at it and decided I could make an improved version so here it is:


Once again, I used some decoupage from the Adorables cd-rom.  For this card I added some pinflair snow dust to the sign post and around their feet.  Another of the ironworks dies was used to mat the greeting onto.  The greeting is a stamp from Lili of the Valley and says "Happy Christmas Sending Love Across The Miles".  This card is for some very good friends of ours who live over a hundred miles away, I also thought the sentiment worked really well with the signpost.  I finally added some poinsettias made using a Marianne die, I think these look lovely when they're made up.

My card is for the following challenges:

The CD Sunday Challenge - Natures Wonders

One Stop Craft Challenge  - Anything Goes

Polka Doodles - Handmade Flowers

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
