Friendship Warms the Heart

Welcome Everyone;

One of my favourite things to do when it is blustery, snowing and just downright cold outside is to snuggle up with a pet or two, or even when the children were toddlers, and have a snooze together.  This is what these two friends are doing.

Today’s card is featuring Friends Snooze, paired with Friendship.  Both of these stamps are from High Hopes Stamps “Winter Friends” Release.

After stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured it and then used a Double Stitched Oval Die to cut it out.  Using the same die, I cut another oval shape from some matching cardstock.  Using the Nuvo Glitter Accents Fresh Snowfall, I had some to the pine needles in the image, the trees on the design paper and some below the oval shape on the design paper.
