Well, if you're going to have non-traditional Christmas weather, why not not-traditional Christmas colors?
The inspiration for this card came from Cookie Challenge #34, with the sketch from this week's Sketch Saturday. I started by stamping two rows of snowflakes, using both large and small stamps.
The image is from Bugaboo, colored with pencils. (That bird is so not a
titmouse, but I colored him like one, because they are my favorite
winter birds). The snowman (snowgirl?) is covered with Wink of Stella,
with some icy Stickles thrown in good measure. The image is mounted on a snippet of lavender (such a snippet that it actually has a scalloped circle cut out of it, but you'd never known if I had not mentioned it.)I would like to enter the card in these challenges:

Those non-traditional colors are wonderful. I feel a chill coming off your card... or maybe that's just the lack of heat in this joint.
