This is for FS198 and Sarah-CriminalGrace is our featured artist. I had a great time surfing Sarah's galleries and was especially inspired by her CAS frame card Summer Fun II. Summer Fun II by criminalgrace at Splitcoaststampers I really love how crisp her card was with the unstamped card base and how her flips flops and ribbon popped. I used the same card layout with a simple card base and frame punched with a Nestabilities. I did change the card size, theme, image and color combination. I like the wintery scene popping out of the red and finished off with the tiny gingham ribbon.
I stamped the little winter tree from A Tree for All Seasons with black versafine and heat set. I sponged blue in the sky using a hand cut scalloped cloud template and stylus and foam tip. I painted the tree with Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo and colored in the little mittens and scarf with a red marker. I heat set all the ink and then using a tiny brush I painted the falling snowflakes and snow on the tree limbs ground with white craft ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I mounted the scene on mounting tape on the inside of the card.

Very sweet card, Kittie! The tiny little scene is so cute, with the mittens hanging in the tree and great job on the clouds! The gingham ribbon is perfect!
