It's Winter, and There's a Scene...

The theme for Tag Tuesday this week is - WINTER. (you just had to go and remind us, didn't you, Louise? lol!)
And the theme over at Order of the Opus Gluei is - MAKE A SCENE (I don't think they meant..make a scene in WalMart, although that's been done before. Not by me.)
So, when Dewbird has control of the remote, I sit there thinking of what I'm going to do for these challengesBecause normally he's watching something I'm not interested in. But hey, at least I'm in the same room. lol.  I digress...so I'm thinking... winter..... scene..... winter.... scene....BAMMO.. it hits me, how about a winter scene? BRILLIANT.  Sheesh. There's a couple of hours I won't get back. he he. 
So, that's what I did, in the form of a tag (for Tag Tuesday, hello?) and a card for the poobahs at OOG.  Here we go:



Errr, the tag is all Stampscapes stamps, the card, I'm not so sure, had it for ages.  Both on glossy cardstock, black stamping with Staz On, then colored with Adirondack dye inks in Stonewash and Denim, and a touch of Chipped Sapphire distress ink. Then I used some white Enamel Accents for some snow.  The saying on the card is embossed with Seafoam White powder. The snowflakes are some stickers that I've had lying around.  Boy, those blues really make it ... chilly!
Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to fix a cup of hot tea or cocoa, haven't decided yet... lol...till next time...
Go Be Creative!

Wow, these are both fantastic, love them

CuddlyBunny said...

Ouu! I love winter and I love your creations! In fact, the only thing I don't love about them is that they make me wish even more that I lived in a mountainside cabin!

Plus, your comment: There's two hours you won't get back. You are hysterical!
