Winter Scene for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are in fine fettle and enjoying your weekend. They come around so quickly as do the Christmas Card Club Challenge, it doesn't seem like two weeks ago since I posted the last one.

This time the theme has been chosen by our lovely Mrs. A aka Valery Anne and as you can see for the title she wants to see a Winter Scene. I thought I would have a little bit of Continental winter scenery this time with these lovely Michael Powell images that I've had for yonks and I believe if memory serves me right they were made by Docrafts,


Both  images have been coloured with Altenew watercolour paints, and sparkled up with Stickles Star Dust, a few clear gems on the first card, whose sentiment is by Clearly Besotted Stamps, and the sentiment is from a set that was gifted to me and I don't know the brand. A Snowflake embossing folder, I think it might be an old Docraft one, but can't be certain, and some clear gems.

I hope they will do Valery, and thank you for the challenge, I did enjoy colouring up these images.

Just a quick post today, but before I go, just t say thank you all for your lovely comments on my socks, I do appreciate your continued visits and comments.

Have a great Sunday whatever your doing and see you again, take care and keep safe,
