CUTE CARD THURSDAY Challenge #11

I can almost feel you cringe when you see my design for today, and hear you saying 'already', but i do need to make a start on some samples for my 'Christmas in July' workshop that i host. I am into my fourth year now, and with it being an all day workshop, i need plenty of sample cards so that the ladies have a good selection to work from :-)

There is a fabulous sketch this week over at Cute Card Thursday, provided for us by the very talented Katharina. I do love to work from a sketch!
I have stamped my Penny Black 'Snow Cuddle' onto watercolour paper using Archival ink, and then coloured in using my Adirondack pads and a water brush. I am in love with the Tim Holtz 'Inkssentials' white opaque pen, and i've used this for all the dots! The sentiment is HOTP and i've added a silk flower and a snowflake brad along with some lovely ribbon that my friend Margaret gave me :)

I hope you'll forgive me for mentioning the C word, enjoy your weekend, see you soon :)
