After a few hours of coloring this with pencil I had a senior moment and colored the sky baby blue ruining all contrast. So I scanned the artwork and digitally enhanced it by removing the blue color. It worked. Added some distressed scraps to the background, a little hardware and some easy stitches. I splattered white acrylic paint using a small brush. Thanks for looking

Stunning. I rarely directly copy, but this one might be one I do. This just is brilliant not only in your image choice and coloring, but the layout, paper choice, accents--perfect.

You can really turn out those snowy cards! So pretty and this one is no exception -- great vintage feel to it too! I love the sewing and the paper clip and turned edges. Very nicely done!!!
