Winter Birthday and Snowdrops

 Morning and my second post today is for the Winter Birthday challenge chosen by Christine and our GD is Pam  at Dragonfly Dreams which I have now rejoined. The papers are from CraftOClock the snowdrop image is from Sweet Dixie clear stamps coloured with promarkers and dies from Spellbinders. I stamped the image twice, cut out the flowers and added  with 3-D foam, after using the spotlight technique and adding part of the image with a Crafters Companion die, soft snow around the base of images-the sentiment is from Pink frog.






PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

Snowdrops are such beautiful flowers and I always find hard to showcase with them being white, but you've done a fabulous job with them. Many thanks for sharing at Allsorts challenge this week.

Your Winter Birthday challenge card is delightful! The combination of CraftOClock papers, Sweet Dixie clear stamps, and the layered snowdrops with 3-D foam creates a beautifully textured and vibrant design. The spotlight technique and soft snow add a perfect wintry touch.
