Today is Danielle's turn to be our hostess, and I know that all the CTD artists will be coming up with some cute cards for you to peruse! Make sure you check out the CTD blog and see who the sponsor is and what they're giving away! You won't want to miss it!
I am on the fence about my card today. We always tell our CTD participants to use colors that are close--and I really stretched that with this card! I wanted to use my Copics, but I don't have a lot of colors, so I had to make do with what I had. Consequently, my little "tan Tilda" from Magnolia-licious has quite a summer glow on her face! I stamped her on Sahara Sand to complement the Basic Grey Wassail DP I used for my background, and now it looks like she got quite a sunburn from the sun reflecting on all that snow! LOL! Anyway, I did have fun coloring her in, even though I am still on a big learning curve with my Copics.
Since the card is large and the image is pretty busy, I didn't have room for a lot of embellishments. A scalloped border peeks out from behind my image, and I also added a little CB tag on which I stamped a sentiment from Anna Wight's Winter Schminter set, along with some snowflakes, then mounted it with a glittery snowflake & button. I did use SU's Shimmery Paint to color her fuzzy accessories and the snow she is standing on; too bad it's not visible, it looks really cute IRL! Here's the inside, with another sentiment from the same set:
So let's see what you can come up with this week! Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery using the keyword CTD71, then link it back to Mr Linky on the CTD blog.

FAbulous LeAnne!! Hey I finally used your G.C. and got one of the big Bow Easy's and some ribbon from Sharon's store. Love it!!
LeAnne, you did an amazing job coloring your little snowgirl! You know, when I go skiing I have to wear as much sunscreen as I do when at the beach! Your little girl has a winter sunkissed face! Your card reminds me of many winter days spent in Buffalo sledding with my sisters! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
