A Frosty Farm Scene

Year in Review 2022 - Favorite Creations of the Year *Blog Hop* and a Small Prize Giveaway


Good morning and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope it will be a happy and healthy one for you!

I am here bright and early with my design team card for the Four Seasons January challenge where we are in the middle of "Winter" so come join us with all your winter themed creations! We have a fabulous optional mood board (see above), you may use it or  not. Of course my card was completely inspired by it. Maybe I took it too literal but I love how it turned out!!



I created a farm like winter scene using stamps from Penny Black (Snow Blanket, Nature's Gifts) Lavinia Stamps (Seasonal Tree, Winter Magic) and a digi from Mo Manning. I've had this cute sheep image for a long time, somehow never used it before. This is one of her very early digis. 

The fence and branches in the foreground were stamped using Pumice Stone ink and the tree on the right side using Ground Espresso ink. I fussy cut the sheep after printing (it is part of a hillside scene which I did not use here). The sheep on the image is holding flowers in its mouth, I cut those off but the stems are still there so lets pretend those are branches :) 

The words on the background are by Lavinia. I used Hickory Smoke ink to stamp them. A few die cut snowflakes using Penny Black's Dancing Snowflakes die set were added along with some rhinestones. I used a clear glitter Sakura gel pen to highlight the snow on the fence and branches. 

As always, the challenge runs until January 25th, so there is plenty of time to join us!

Thanks so much for visiting! 


In case you haven't heard... I'm co-hosting a year in review blog hop along with a group of other crafters where we share our favorites of 2022 and I have a prize giveaway too. Hope you'll stop by to check it out! Prize giveaway ends on January 6th.

A stunning scene Ellie - love how 'real' it feels, especially to one who is in mid summer, and rarely sees snow :)
