SUPPLIES:

Snowflake Chippies - Make it Crafty

Word Art by Box of Colours

Faber Castell Polychromo & Caran D'Ache Pablo coloured pencils

Kraft card

Silver paper

Recycled Parcel Paper

Frost Points - Stampendous

Snowflake peel offs - Craft Creations

Stickles Diamond Glitter Glue

Frost White ink - Color Box

 

This creation has been a real labour of love, taking 5 days to complete!

Having created the basic scene with the digital stamps in Word

 I finished it off by drawing in the background by hand!!

 

But I did not stop there!

 I could not find a suitable background paper so I created my own with the aid of the parcel paper, white ink and snowflake stamp

and

my own sentiment in Photoshop Elements!

 

 

Now it is with sadness that I have to let you know this is in fact my final creation for

Make it Crafty 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Zoe and the rest of the team for having me

and wish them all the best for 2013

 
 

And as it is nearly Christmas
I thought I would post my seasonal word art as a freebie

 

 

 

Now don't forget to leave a comment below before December 31st and stop by the Make it Crafty Store blog to 'open the door' to the other inspirational projects!

Thanks for playing along with us and I would like to wish
you all a very
Merry Christmas
