Such a lovely color combo for today's challenge! And for the dessert, I added some snow to the panes.
I stamped & colored the image w/ Copics, then added a little Copic opaque white pigment to the window sills. After it dried, I added a little stickles on top of the white pigment, waited for it to dry, then overstamped the image to bring back the details. I resized a rectangle die to make it smaller then used a stitched line die around the edges. The Welcome & Christmas words were put together to make the greeting. All of the designer paper pieces were left over strips & rectangles I put together as you see. The white layer on the upper right side was dry embossed w/ a snow folder & a die cut grosgrain ribbon piece & embossed double bow were added to the upper corner. A few sparkly crystals finish it off.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, you make the prettiest cards! I love all your framing and extras you always do my friend. Your cards are always so "finished" looking!! This card with the candles, glow, snow, and tiny poinsettias is just gorgeous!!

First, Julie, your image is colored SO beautifully. You have a talent I admire to back your images with just the right DPs, die cuts, and embellishments. The tiny dotted designs take this to another level as does the creative framing. Beautiful Christmas card.
