Skiing Edwin

Happy February!  I can't believe we're already into February.  I'm still wondering where December went much less January.  
I've been a busy bee lately completing the finishing touches on the classes and getting orders ready.  The poor little ol blog has been severely neglected and needing a bit of attention.

I finally managed to give Edwin some attention and love and get him onto a card.  The scrumptious wintertime papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle, the ribbon was from my stash and the chipboard snowflakes are from MIC and done in white embossing powder.  The die cuts are from MFT and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I've used some Glitter Glass from Melissa Frances for the snow.  The glass snow is pretty reflective of the snow on the ski resorts in CO this year...ice crystals and glass!
Of course he was colored up with copics and the snowflakes around him were done with a spica pen.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope everyone has had an enjoyable week and is looking forward to the weekend.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Crafty Ribbons:  Anything Goes with Ribbon
Marvelous Magnolia:  Anything Goes
Divas by Design:  Blue, Brown and Cream
Simon Says Stamp:  Anything Goes
Whimsical Designs:  Winter Wonderland

I don't have this Edwin image, but he's definitely one of my favorite Edwins! The card has a lovely male design, I like the shape of the image and the brown frame makes a beautiful contrast to the softer colored paper. Love your added snow too!

Poor Edwin - he still has not learned how to ski - I would have thought that he would be in the Olympics by now. I love the snow crackles he fell in and I guess skiing is like magic if you manage to stay upright! Wonderful card Shelby!
