Moving Along With The Times (DT Card) - Challenge 125 - 'Let it Snow'

Happy Thursday! Hope you are all keeping well. Time for another Challenge over at

Moving Along With The Times

This week the lovely Laurie is our hostess and she has chosen the fab theme of .....

'Let It Snow'

We are sponsored this week by Digi My World who have very kindly given us some gorgeous images to play with.

Also they are generously offering the winner a prize of a $10 Voucher to spend in their Store.

These two lovely images are from a set of six stamps called 'Winter Kids' and they are perfect for creating a lovely winter scene.  

I flipped the 'boy with snowman' image to fit the scene and I have digitally coloured the blue-grey areas and added a texture. When I think back to my childhood in the Sixties, we seemed to have snow quite often back then, and we always had gorgeous fair isle jumpers and hats. So thought I would do some snowflake borders on the clothes digitally to try and replicate that. I've done some decoupage but it doesn't show up very well in the photos. I printed out three of each image and picked out bits to layer up. The border and bobble on hats and part of snowman/snowball.


I made the background paper and border so that it all matched.  I've added some diamond stickles glitter to the snow on sky background but again it doesn't show up in photos! The Sentiment is from Pink Petticoat. I tried adding more bellies but didn't likey. I think the images kinda hold their own on this one.

Colouring:-

I always remember one Winter's day in the 60s when it snowed heavily.  By the time I got home from Primary School it was dark. My brother had built a 'state of the art' sledge which was amazing and I begged him to let me have a go on it.  My brother pulled me on the sledge around the roads where we lived and I felt like I was in Austria. it was really magical, freshly falling snow and all glistening in the lamplight.  Then back indoors and chill blains!! Ooh didn't it hurt when your feet started to warm up !!! even though I had two pairs of socks and wellies!! LOL

Hope all this talk of SNOW has put you in the mood to make a Winter Wonderland of a card for the Challenge. Really looking forward to seeing all your gorgeous creations!
