ODBDSLC265 Snowy Waterwheel Christmas Scene

Hello, Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well!! The time just seems to be flying by and Christmas is now only a few weeks away!! ...and yes I am still working on getting all my Christmas cards sent out. It always seems like such a momentous task!

Today I would like to share a Christmas card I created using the new Living Water stamp set at ODBD and the colors from the ODBDSLC265 Color Challenge.

I had so much fun coloring this image up and adding lots of sparkle with my glamor dust. After coloring the image, I cut my image out with the new Double Stitched Circles matted on a black circle from the Circle Ornaments dies. The image is then layered on an embossed snowflake kraft panel die cut with the Vintage Labels die. It is a little more simplistic than a lot of my cards, but I really felt the image did not need a lot of added detail. The embossed Snowflake layer was perfect to add a more wintery feel. The panel along the bottom is cut with a Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace punch.
