Sandra, this is gorgeous! The blue is beautiful and so perfect for a winter card! That stamp is so whimsically delightful! I love it. You colored it so beautifully as always. I love the snowflake accents and the dotted papers and buttons. The stripes are so lovely, too. Everything is just frosty and perfect. :o)

wow Sandra this is gorgeous. Oh I love coloring with mono-chromatic. I just recently sent my DIL a birthday card using that tone.... Fun to do! Then in the end I couldn't help it and splashed one more outside color. LOL
Congrats on winning your new stamp too!
have a fun week.
