WINTER IS ON HER WAY!!!

Here in South Africa the weather is now starting to change - at last - and winter is on her way.  Although where I live in Durban on the east coast snow NEVER makes an appearance,I still love images of snow, and especially of the fun that children have in the snow.

This image featured on my card below, called Kai in the Snow, is certainly no exception.  

I coloured the image using alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  (I have discovered a way of successfully blending Copics and Spectrum Noir with each other- YAY!)

To make up my card I used the following from my stash

(from the card base upwards)

white CS card base

smooth white CS background (corners rounded)

textured pale turquoise CS background (corners rounded)

white CS cut with a die

white CS cut with a picket fence

three flourieshes cut with a die

one white slowflake cut with a die

mini paper flowers and sequins - hand sewn on with teeny tiny seed beads

I sewed on seed beads where the image shows tiny snowflakes

This card was specially created as my application for The Mo Manning Dream Team – Oh how I would LOVE to be on Mo’s Dream Team  - that would be one more personal goal achieved, not to mention the honour of being considered talented enough to serve on her team!

And because I love sharing my creations on my blog, I would like to add this card to the following challenges too:
