December challenge - In the bleak mid winter

Well, it's 1st of December, and the countdown to Christmas!!

For our challenge this month we are asking you to include your interpretation of 'in the bleak mid winter'.

We are thinking of snow and icy scenes.  Use white in your winter themed projects, perhaps as a wintery sky, a snowy scene, or perhaps snowflakes.

Maybe keep it simple and elegant showing you aren't afraid to use just white as a colour, or try using a cool combination of secondary colours.

To kick off our challenge we have a fantastic project from


Sue the Iron



Sue used:

Stampendous Aged Marine Embossing Enamel
Stampendous Snowy Postcard Cling StampStampendous Frek01 Frantage Embossing Kit
