Prize: 

I went for O for On and have my little friend here having fun on her toboggan.

1) First, create the background by taking a square piece of white card and ink up the clouds using a stencil.

2) Add double-sided adhesive film to some white card and die cut the hillside from it. Remove the film and sprinkle glitter all over it to create the snow. If you have glitter card, you can use that instead. Raise the hill on foam and add it to the cloudy square.

3) Die cut the tree frame using Crafter's Companion/ Sheena Douglas Christmas Deer die and ink the bark through the die before removing it. Snip off the deer from the bottom of the frame and keep it for another project. Go over the trees with some glue and sprinkle on some more glitter.

4) Layer up the card with a blue pierced mat on the base card, then put on the hillside and finally raise the tree frame with some foam tape.

5) Stamp and die cut the little girl using the MFT Dashing By set and colour with Copic markers. Raise her on foam tape and place her on the hill.

6) Stamp, colour and fussy cut a little bird and place it in the tree.

7) Finish off by fussy cutting a blue banner and stamp and emboss the sentiment in white. Add this to the card and glue a couple of tiny snowballs to either side.

The ABC Challenges DT have lots of inspiration over on the blog and you have until 31st July to add your entry over there. It could be you winning one of the prizes!
