The Free for All challenge "Relax!" timed perfectly as I needed to get a few more cards done for my quota for October (I'm behind) for the Christmas Card Challenge - and the suggested theme for October's CCC is anything that speaks of relaxation such as a cozy fire, a cabin in the woods, a relaxing activity, etc. I did two variations using this winter cottage stamp - it looks like an ideal place to relax in the winter.
Stamped and watercoloured, framed, and added to a stitched layer. It's popped up on fun foam on the card base. Lastly I took a Quickie glue pen and went over all the snow areas and added very fine glitter.

Both of your cards are lovely, Susan, but I like the more compressed main panel on this one. The brown framing brings out the log cabin and the faux stitch edging is a lovely touch. Wonderful job of coloring your image too.

Beautiful. Awesome image and your coloring is excellent. Love, love the sparkle! It is framed so nicely. Looks like it would be very relaxing beside the fireplace inside a cabin like this one. Great job! TFS

Beautiful colouring! I have never been able to colour these 'scenic' views well; your is gorgeous! I too love the framing of this little scene. The stitched lines really enhance it!
