Winter In Canmore with Concord & 9th

 


I’ve been blessed in the last year to go to some beautiful countries in Europe, but I have to say that Canmore, Alberta will always have my heart.  If I could pick anywhere to live it would be the mountains, and though we couldn’t afford the real estate....I’d choose Canmore.  I highly recommend it if you ever come to Alberta.  It is a lovely mountain town with proximity to so many outdoor activities that put you right in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.  So, when I saw this set called Alpine Village from Concord & 9th, I was smitten!  

For my first design with the dies and stamps, I created a moonrise night scene with a fun colour palette.  It feels just like I’m looking through a specific mountain pass in Canmore called Ha Ling, that is so peaceful to me!  For the snowy layers I used very sparkly paper, which really takes it over the top in shimmer.  The path is stamped to be cobblestone, and there are stamped lines in the icy pond, and the mountains.  I’ve also added in snow to the roofs and trees with a white pen.  


The sentiment is such a sweet one!  All put together it makes for one magical Winter scene!
