White Plus One

We have a fun new challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge for you.

Our theme is White Plus One colour.

We have three fabulous sponsors, Stitchy Bear, QKR Stampede and Sami Stamps.

I have used an image from Stitchy Bear called Christmas Sled which has been coloured with Copic Markers.

The layout is simple and the colour is a very soft blue/Green.  It almost makes me feel a little cold so the snowflakes I thought seem perfect.

Here is my card:

 

 

A simple layout but I like it.

Here is close up of the image:

 

 

 

 

We look forward to you join us and sharing your White Plus One creation.
