Pixie Cottage #46 - Let It Snow

It's time for another sketch and theme challenge over at The Pixie Cottage.
With the cold weather coming to visit us here in Texas and snow forecast for most of my homeland of the UK (and lots of Europe too) you'll be glad to see the theme fits perfectly!

Cards For Men - Christmas for a Man/Boy

Card Recipe:
Image- Winter Window by Sandra Hammer
Paper- Homemade Christmas Stack DCWV
Medium- Copic Markers
Sentiment- 7 Gypsies
Glitter- Stickles Icicle
Shine- Liquid Embossing Sepia Gloss Finish


This is the sketch you can choose to work with this week.



I added lots of Stickles for the snow on this one, took 2 thick coats to get it as sparkly as I wanted!
I really like this image, nice to make a classic looking card instead of cutesy for a change and I hope you like it too.
