Everyone OK? ........ I do hope so.
We're hurtling towards the weekend again ...... at least the diary is clear for this one!
I'm playing along with the CAS Christmas Challenge today ........ I'm still trying to make a start on filling up the festive card box!
I just love die cuts for quick and easy cards. This is from an old Stampin Up! die set which I think is called Hometown Greetings (not sure if its still available though)
I simply die cut the houses from white cardstock, and then added colour to just the tree using Distress Ink and a ZIG marker
Using Distress Inks, I then inked the top half of another piece of white cardstock. To create the look of a wintry sky I splattered the ink with clean water, let it sit for a few seconds to active the Distress Ink, then mopped up the water with a paper towel, removing some of the ink with it leaving this splattered look behind ........ giving the look of falling snow
It's it bit wintry outside today. We're just about to batten down the hatches again as we've got back to back storms coming in over the next few days. No ferries again today, as storm Dudley is beginning to blow a hoolie out there ...... it's freezing cold with the wind but the sun is shining ..... for now!!
This poor chap has managed to find a sheltered spot in the garden. He comes in quite often and just wanders across the lawn. He's being a bit careful today though, the wind is ruffling his feathers just a little bit!
Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.
If the weather's bad where you are, stay safe.
Cheerio until next time ......
