Winter Warm Up

     It's the First of March and our newest challenge at SheepSki Designs begins today.  We have a fun theme of  "Your Favorite Colors" and I stretched it a bit to show one of my favorite color combos - purple and blue.  The image is called "Winter Warmer" and you can find it by clicking on the name.  I thought she looked so gorgeous wrapped in that warm winter scarf.


     She's colored with a combination of ProMarkers and polychromos pencils, and I cut her with a stitched die from Memory Box.  I cut blue and purple dp with other stitched dies from that same set, picking up the blues and purples in the image.

     I made the card base from kraft CS because I loved the way the dp popped off it.  I found a piece of lovely, lace ribbon and laid it diagonally across the card base before applying the dp and the image.  I embellished the design with a 'butterfly' shaped bow with pearl for the body.

Great image, beautifully coloured and I really like that you surrounded her with die cut flowers and lace, it makes it so feminine.

She certainly does look lovely and cosie in her scarf. The weather has gone back to being very cold and windy after a spell of really warm spring like conditions, I'm back in scarf and mittens again today. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week.
Hugs Mrs A.
