I made today's card to help celebrate a college exchange-student's first ever look at snow! He's from Nigeria and is studying at a college in Texas, and late last month there was an unexpected snow storm which shut down the entire campus. All of the students were excited about the event to one degree or another, but he perhaps most of all. :-D
I found this image online, reversed it, and printed it in grayscale. Then I colored the buildings, trees and fence with polychromos pencils and used ProMarkers to color the sky and snow. I cut the image with a Tonic Studios die, cut the sentiment with an Avery Elle die, and inked the edges of both of those before layering them onto the dp from Paper Studio.
Enjoy your own mid-winter day, even if there's no snow at all. For those of you in the southern hemisphere, winter is closer than you think and then you can begin celebrating your own Mid-Winter Deep with piles of snow. lol
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
