Days gone by....

Good morning!  It will be so nice when the temperatures stay above freezing for more than a few hours at a time.  Any melting of snow and ice just freezes back up again, and of course, we can't forget those additional bits of fluffy white stuff that keep on coming to visit stay.  Old Man Winter was sure in a grumpy mood this year!  Does he not know that he's overstayed his welcome?


So now, for my DT card for Just Inklined using a rather nostalgic image, Stepping Out.  No snow in this picture, though they are still dressed for the cold, and I've gone with a monochromatic colour theme...this time with Spectrum Noir markers.  I only have the brown set so far, but they did work beautifully!

For the frame, I used the Spellbinders Creatopia Frame 2 die, colouring it with distress stains and inks for a vintage look.  Found some papers that followed the theme in the Printery Collection from Prima, adding black ribbons and lace for contrast.  The gold watch and corner piece add a little bit of class for the final touch.

Hope you are all keeping well and thinking spring thoughts!  Thanks for stopping by.
