Winter Birthday...


Hi there!

Just thought I'd pop in and share with you a card I made for a friend recently.  It certainly is cold enough to go ice skating around here.  I can't remember the last time I went ice skating, but I have fond memories of ice skating when I was younger.  And, sitting by the fire sipping hot chocolate was the best!  I'm entering this card over at 613 Avenue Create.

I started with a white card base and paired it with DCWV papers.  A doily was placed behind the skates.  Punched snowflakes with glitter and gems adhered.  The skates were laced up with pearl cotton and glitter applied to the blades.  I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to watching the Winter Olympics coming up very soon.  Which event is your favorite?

Thank you for viewing my card here today.  Take care and stay warm, hugs!
