Snowy Cottage

Welcome. We have snow and cold here in Ohio. Guess this weather set the mood to create a snowy cottage scene. I have had the monthly challenge at Craft a Scene in mind which is to do just that -create a snowy cabin scene - and the month will soon be over.  I am not sure I like the results but it is certainly snowy card and includes a cottage/cabin.  I may have over done the snow a bit using stickles. I have used this stamp before and it's fun to do with a different look each time. I stamped the cabin with mountains and lake and added some more trees, the fence, and birds which added more depth to the scene. I colored with a lot of Copics, sponged the sky to give a snowy and gray look, and then let the snow fall everywhere. Even the lake looks cold! Finished with a bit of green twine. The card base was embossed with snowflakes and sponged with Brilliance Moonlight White. I did not use a sentiment as I will stamp that when I use the card.

I hope it is warmer where you are. I had meant to put puffs of smoke coming from the chimney so it would show a warm and cozy cottage but I forgot. I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
