Winter Themend Birthday Card

Walkin' in a winter wonderland.....

We have had SO much snow here in central Ontario in the last two days - it is crazy!  My middle one is SO excited because it means full steam ahead for his skiing but the people needing to drive anywhere, aren't exactly happy!  
So, I couldn't help but use the Snow Friends framelits to create the card I have to show you today and then I looked to some challenge blogs for some help beyond that.


I took some inspiration from the sketch over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and the colour choices from the Colour Challenge over at The Paper Players.  Be sure to check out all of the great creations made with these 2 challenges.  



Here is the sketch from Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration....


 



....and the colour challenge at The Paper Players....
 

 

The colour challenge is quite a stretch for me for sure!  But that is what challenges are for, right? 


Here is the card I came up with....





 
I am pretty happy with it.  That just proves that stretching you comfort zone is worth it! 


I had this negative scrap of the snowman left over from my Christmas cards laying around and thought it would be perfect for the sketch and our wintery weather. lol I stamped the little buttons from the coordinating stampset, Snow Place, in Tempting Turquoise.


My greeting is from Crazy for You that I stamped on two separate pieces. 


Thank you for stopping by!


Happy Stampin'
