FREEBIE FRIDAY AT BUGABOO'S CATCH THE BUG BLOG

Most of the Northern Hemisphere is starting to unpack their winter woolies while I am packing them away for the summer.  I must admit though, that this morning we had the most awful 'berg' wind!  A berg wind in South Africa is a really hot dry wind that is the forerunner of a cold front which will hit in about 12 hours.  So I am bracing myself for some cold and possibly wet weather - the fourth weekend of it here in Durban!

Back to the freebie - which is much more fun that talking about the weather! It's called AKV Winter | Boy Sled, and here is the card I made using it:

This time, I chose my DP first, and coloured the image to match.  I used alcohol markers and a white gel pen for the highlights.

To construct my card I used the following:
3 different DP's
red CS mat for the image
deep red satin ribbon and bow
punched snowflakes (red)
metal Christmas Tree charm
3 red flat back pearls

Note: Bugaboo Stamps makes every attempt to get our digital images uploaded to our store by noon EST for Freebie Friday, but please accept our apologies and check back later in the day if they're not there at that time.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
