Snow Day!


Here's that sweet Gorjuss Girl and her fox again.
I paper pieced her coat and hat using up some tiny scraps, and then got busy with the Distress inks.
I used the emboss resist technique to achieve the snowflakes, and am fairly pleased with how it's turned out. Looks like it's started to snow and there are just a few first flakes in the air!
The large snowflake comes from the LR0123 set of Marianne Creatables.
I know I am going to have so much fun with these gorgeous dies!
Have a good weekend everyone, and keep safe on Bonfire Night in the UK.

What a cute card, Jo! thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments. Have a great weekend.

This is lovely! Love the paper pieced image and fab background :o)

Re the text on my baby card - it's really easy! I just copy the image into Word, create a text box, put the required text in and then the text box can be moved and rotated to wherever you want it. Once you're happy with the position of it, edit the text box to make the lines transparent and you're left with just the text showing where you want it :o) Lisa x
