Winter Cards

Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Winter.  I am using an image from both of our fabulous sponsors: Pattie's Creations and Beccy's Place.

 Here is my card using the image from Pattie's Creations:

I kept this card very simple as I wanted the image to be the star of the show.  So, I printed it out quite large, colored it and trimmed it down to just fit on a black card base.  I used a black fine line pen to draw a frame around the edge, leaving room for a secondary sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment with black ink to fit in with the frame and make it look they belong together.

and from Beccy's Place:

I also kept this card very simple, but I dressed it up a little bit more by adding strips of gold card stock down the sides of the image and finishing everything of with some clear drops.

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!
