The East Wind - Challenge #23

Wow, I am getting a lot better at this blogging thing again..... I am feeling better and able to make more projects, so I am back to blogging more regularly.

I am so thankful that a lot of my fellow crafting and blogging friends didn't abandon me when I was away for so long. Big hugs and kisses to every single one of you!!

 

 

This month is going so fast that it is already time for a brand new challenge over on The East Wind Challenge Blog.

The Theme for Challenge #23 is.....

"Winter Blues"

.....which is a great theme for the current weather situation in the UK. Now, this can be an early Christmas card or just a winter themed make. The only condition is, the most prominent colour MUST BE BLUE...

 

I chose to use the image "Waiting For You", which is available in The East Wind's Etsy Shop....

Here is what I made

 

This image reflects the end of a fun Christmas/festive period and the beginning of a cold and wet new year.....

 

The card base, topper layers and snowflakes were cut on my Silhouette Cameo, which I am totally addicted too.

The image was coloured using my pencils and highlighted with white pen.

I have to say, I do love the mix of blues and teals in this card.

 

 

I hope this card has given you some inspiration to get your craft on and get making to join the current challenge.
