Thoughts of winter...

Another beautiful summer's day...and after a bit of rain late yesterday, the temperatures seem a bit more comfortable.  I'd better get outside while I can, as the heat and humidity this year have been unbearable.  I'm a spring and fall weather person, but those seasons seem to be extremely short-lived any more.  Oh well, must be time for a Christmas card.  Just think, soon we'll be able to complain about the cold!


Here, I've used a Magnolia stamp and water colours, with some added flocking for the fuzzy bits on her hat.  A simple card design, using a die cut mat to create a frame and some gold peel-offs to provide a bit of sparkle.

Using:
Spellbinders - Romantic Rectangles die
Elizabeth Craft Designs - Merry Christmas die

Here's hoping I'm bringing you cool thoughts..ha ha.  Have a great weekend and take care.

  1. Such a festive cutie Joyce. I totally agree, I am an autumn and spring girl. It has eventually got very warm here in the UK and it knocks you out!
