Hi all. Super quick post today.
This card is for my neice who has just moved into her first home. I thought I would combine it with the LESS IS MORE challenge which is one layer week with a theme of snow.
So here's how I made it. Early Espresso card base. I then rollered with the Neighbourhood wheel (now retired) in Whisper white and embossed with clear embossing powder. I added snowflakes from Serene Snowflakes and then using a white gel pen I added some fallen snow onto my street.
I hand wrote New Home as I thought it went with the style of the drawn houses.
We woke up to a white wonderland this morning but thankfully it was only a dusting. Keep warm. x

great card. I love how you made this stamp look really like winter.
I wish we had some snow. Only rain overhere.
Such a gorgeous card Aileen! The houses are great and I love the way you've turned them into a snowy street. Enjoy your pretty dusting of snow and thank goodness it's nothing more severe! Vx
