Snowy Wednesday
Ok…it’s definately not a snowy Wednesday, but it is quite chilly this morning. Love it! There’s nothing better than sleeping with the windows open…until the neighbor’s car alarm goes off at 4:15. And then a dog barks at 5:10…husband’s alarm at 5:30. How much longer until I can hit that Starbucks?
At any rate, I do have a snowy card to share. Today brings the release of The Night Before Christmas, a new Thomas Kinkade image from Cornish Heritage Farms.
Season’s Greetings
I used mostly gray Copics to color this image, adding bits of red and green, a touch of yellow and a whole lot of Star Dust Stickles. It’s super-sparkly! The background was created using the Aged Sheet Music Scrapblock™ stamped in Adirondack Mushroom. (I know you can’t see a whole lot of it…I just hate to cover it.)
Here’s a close-up of the grays and sparkles:
