No, we don’t really have snow yet.  We woke up to a “powdered sugar dusting” Tuesday morning, but it melted by 11:00 a.m.  However, it’s been cold enough to feel like snow this week.

So, here’s a snowy card I made for the Lizzie Anne Designs Holiday Challenge.  It uses their weekly sketch challenge #52 layout, along with the extra twist to use complimentary colors from the color wheel. 

I chose red and green for the colors and made this Christmas card.  I mixed and matched the snow globe from the Build-a-Bauble set with the house from Holiday Lane.  I tried to color the base of the globe to look like woodgrain.  I’m not sure I succeeded, but anyway, it is what it is.  I had some fun with some Liquid Applique, too. Then I stamped the different languages from the Many Merries stamp in pairs, which left the English “Merry Christmas” for the inside of the card.  I took the artistic liberty of rearranging the sentiments from the order that they are on on the stamp.  I thought the visual arrangement of the longer lines vs. the shorter lines looked better this way.  (OK, so I’m very particular about that kind of stuff.)
