Sneak Peek - Country Time Christmas

Today we're back with snowy slopes, country crisp temperatures, and a cozy house waiting for Christmas decorating.  This set, illustrated by Lauren Pope will have you heading for the hills in search of the perfect tree. This earthy and scenic image is paired with five different sentiments and a flurry of snowflakes swirling in the winter sky. Set measures 4" by 6". The Design Team created some wonderful country Christmas designs to show off to you with Country Time Christmas in our Blog Hop today.

I wanted to give this design a very warm organic look with the feel of crisp, newly fallen snow.  And since I love the look of Prismacolors on Kraft that's the direction I went!  I stamped the cowboy image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on our Classic Kraft card stock, then went about colouring up the scene with my pencils.  It's wonderful to give it a frosty, snowy feel.  I know the picture is long and narrow, but if you click on it you'll get a better, larger view.  

The papers are Echo Park Reflections from the store and I love the tones of green in the pages and the woodgrain on the brown, it's also paired with Color Made Easy Rich Browns card stock.  

For accents I added some enamel dots that matched, some velvet in teal and some pretty brown lace.  And there is my Cowboy Christmas card!  

You'll see some wonderful designs again from the DT today...
