159

Hello! Time for another sketch!
When I started playing around, I found that I could only really get it to work by changing the card to 4x6, instead of the standard 4.25x5.5. It still follows the sketch, it just gives a bit more length to work with. The only other measurement to note is the bottom panel, which is 1.5 x4.
I also wasn't intending on making a winter-y card, it just kind of happened. The last few days have been chillier, but it's supposed to be back to the low to mid 20s this weekend!
Supplies:
Stamps: Peace Be Still
Ink: Cool Caribbean, Bermuda Bay, White
Paper: Cool Caribbean, Bermuda Bay, White
Accessories, etc: Ribbon, Snowflake die, pearls, foam tape, white embossing powder
As always, if you play along, feel free to link your project below!
