Come Rain or Shine (or snow!) at the Joanna Sheen Challenge

Good Morning and Happy Sunday to you.
I hope you are well and having a good weekend and I hope those of you who have the snow are not too badly affected and that you are managing to stay warm.

Today is the start of a new Joanna Sheen Challenge
We have a really fun theme for you this time which seems really appropriate considering the weather we are having at the moment in the UK

Come Rain or Shine
- Anything weather related

The prize for the lucky winner is a £15 voucher to spend online at Joanna Sheen

I was sent an adorable House Mouse stamp to use for this challenge.  Little did I know when I coloured this image, nearly 2 weeks ago, that much of the UK would be covered with snow when the challenge was due to start. Crazy British weather!

I have added loads of Twinklets Diamond Dust to all the snowy bits. It looks very sparkly in real life!

Items Used
Stamp - House Mouse Designs Winter Candle coloured with Promarkers
Papers - Dovecraft Vintage Christmas
Martha Stewart Branch punch
Viva Decor Pearl Pen  ~ Ice White from MCH
Memory Box Bitty Scallop
Diemanics mini rolled rose die
Twinklets Diamond Dust


I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:
Sweet Stampin' - Lots of Layers
Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - must be Christmas – Anything Goes

If you pop over to the Joanna Sheen Challenge you will see the wonderful creations from the Design Team, covering a wide variety of weather conditions! I hope you will be able to take part in this one, I love to see your entries.



Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog today. I really do appreciate it.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend, despite the weather.
Take care everyone
Bye for now
Hugs

    Sue, this has got to be one of my all time favorite HM cards! so many snowy details, bringing a special softness, and making your card just breathtakingly beautiful. HM images always tell a story on their own but with your wonderful details, this one is not only happy and pretty, it is pure magic. hugs, de
