Double Trouble #157 with FarmQuest

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble "Wintry Country Feeling" using the technique for embossing and/or stenciling and Twisted Sister's optional twist to include a hat.  Our collaborating challenge for this challenge is Farm Quest #44 "Winter Sports".  

The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #559 and ColorMyHeart Color Dare's  Challenge #583 "Fancy Five" were my inspiration for my Wintry Country Feeling.  






On white cardstock using Sea Glass Ink (for the light shade of Sage) stenciled snowflakes and added a border.  Cut and adhered three stitched strips in the middle of the background

The image was masked using four of the stamps  (bear and bear arm, penguin and sled from the CTMH Stamp set #C1764 "Got Snow".  Image was colored with Copic Sketch brush pens, background stamped with snow fluries and snowflakes, cut to size of panel in sketch, sentiment added, bordered and adhered to stenciled background with 3D thin foram tape.  


The inside of card was stamped with an assortment of snow fluries and snowflakes on the right hand border.  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble and Farm Quest to check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

You created an adorable little scene. I love the use of color, sketch and animals. Great Job. Thanks for sharing at Atlantic Hearts.

Great little scene! Both of them really enjoy sledding. I love the color scheme you used. For me these pastel colors symbolize a really cold and beautiful winter day. Wonderful backgrounds. These homemade backgrounds will really make your card look stunning.
Thank you for participating in the latest Critter Crazy Challenge.
