Celebrate the Season

Good morning all.  The sun is shining and it looks like a beautiful day....here's hoping it's the same where you are.  I doubt we'll be needing the air conditioning anymore this year, as the temperatures have really changed, but it's definitely good weather for working outside.  Just hoping that winter delays its start and autumn lasts and lasts and lasts....  Spring and fall are my favourite seasons,


My card today, however, is for the Christmas season, when it is generally cold and snowy here in Canada.  Here, I have both paper and stamp from Wild Rose Studio, and watercolours again, with a bit of chalk for the background shading.  The Spellbinders Floral Ovals die has been used to cut it out, with a little added distress ink to enhance the frame.  Nice and simple, and another card ready to post.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day!
