Winter Collage

Last year a sweet friend sent me some stamps that she was no longer using.  Among them was this lovely Winter Collage stamp by Memory Box, from 2012.  With the impending cold snap on the way and lots of snow and ice coming, I thought this might be a good time to share a card using it, to reflect the beauty of the season.


I simply stamped it and colored in the tiny elements, then framed it in green and placed it on a kraft card.  Sometimes simple is best.

Thanks for visiting today - keep cozy!!

    It's perfect, Lin! What a lovely stamp that is!

    Stay safe through this awful weather coming. We've got wind chills of -50 below hitting us by tonight - yikes! Hugs to you! ♥

    LOVE this, Lin! The text background always makes me happy :) And of course, your bird card is always delightful. (must get David to see this--he is a bird lover)!

    You've got some gorgeous beauties here on your blog, as always, Lin.

    I am sorry to not comment on each one. Love the script and birds on this one, and on a post above those snowy scenes are so pretty. :)
