Winter Wonderland
I hate winter. But I love skating. And winter themed stuff.
Actually, the best part about winter is getting back inside…. those are ICICLES handing off Dylan’s beard in the bottom left there.
I used mostly the snowflake from the mitten cut file, but also had a small snowflake punch and snowflake sequins.
I loved the swirly snowflake and I wanted it cut in silver. Unfortunately, the only thing I had that was close to what I wanted was silver backed wrapping paper. I trusted in the Silhouette and loaded up the mat with shiny wrapping paper. It was pretty flimsy and ripped in a few places, but once I glued it on to the backing cardstock cutout, you can barely tell unless you’re looking for it.
I also used two different mitten designs because I loved as aspect of each. I loved the heart rope, but I much preferred the shape of the snowflake ones. So I used the knife tool to cut the rope off and welded it to the other pair.
For the title I used a silver sketch pen and the font Harrington. I liked the effect of the outline on this one, so I didn’t fill it in. Winterlude is the name of the winter festival here is Ottawa… there’s ice sculptures, beavertails, skating on the Rideau Canal, hot chocolate…., we need something to make Ottawa winters bearable!
Do you have any winter rituals that give you something to look forward to each winter?
