I think this is my favorite Beccy's Place image! At least I know that I've used it every Christmas season since I first bought the set, how many years ago? Too many to count. :-D It's the Winter Window and the sentiment is also from Beccy's.
For the letter "S" I have: Stripes, Sparkle, Satin ribbon, Sanjoki markers, Stones in the wall, Snow, Scraps, & Stickles.
In the past, I've colored the stone in red-orange shades to look more like brick, blue stones with dark accents, even brown stones with black accents but this time, I colored it with several different, light gray and blue gray markers to enhance the winter feel, and light brown-gray markers on the branch, all from Sanjoki. I added a few white highlights to the snow on the branch with a gel pen. I used a deep yellow marker on the candle and added Stickles to the candle flame so that it would sparkle.
The image was cut with a die from QuicKutz. The striped dp used for the background came from an old DCWV stack and it was a scrap in the basket. The satin ribbon was from my stash and I'm pretty sure it was from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It has a very nice, but rather subtle, sparkle in it. I used my bowmaker to get the double loop bow. I really do think ribbon and bows are my favorite embellies because they are so easy to add and work perfectly on nearly any card.

A nice winter scene...looking inside from the snowy side to the warm, comfortable home. Thank you for playing along with our moodboard challenge at Just Us Girls!
You've nailed the winter feel with your colouring NanaConnie, the blues and greys look fantastic. I love how they contrast with the yellow glow from the candle. Beautiful work.
Cheers,
Beccy
