Wow! it has been a while. I have been stamping, just not uploading. You should see the queue of cards in my drafts that just need a few words put to them! Anyway this card is for High Hopes Stamps challenge - Challenge 245: Photo Inspiration . The picture is gorgeous and I hope I did the inspiration justice. I wanted to make a card to send to my eldest at university so I took inspiration from the colors Red, White, Kraft/Brown and the dots. If you look close you can see where I improvised and used an embossing folder to create a dotted background with Versamark and clear embossing powder. I wanted that subtleness of the glisten of the ice in the picture.
I decided early on to make his wattle (I had to look that up!!!) out of a ribbon scrap I had from making velvet bows for Christmas.
