Cold Hands Warm Heart

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge. With the sudden cold turn that the weather's taken around here, I pulled out the wintery Emma Celebrates the Season set for my card.

I colored Emma with Copic markers, then added a coating of white flock to her hat, muff, and boots. Love the little bit of texture the flock adds! I used two coordinating papers from Lily Bee Design's winter holiday line for the two main panels on the cardfront. The colors are a little non-traditional and I really like their muted look and feel. I accented the papers with a kraft scalloped strip, topped with some cranberry grosgrain ribbon.

The set's "cold hands warm heart" sentiment is stamped on a piece of a Labels 4 die cut cut from kraft cardstock and slipped under the edge of the image panel. I'm notorious for my cold hands, so this sentiment really strikes a chord with me! A felt die cut snowflake with a button center sits at the bottom of the image panel for a final wintery touch.
