A WINTERS DAY AT FYI !

Hello lovely bloggers, thanks for popping by, and a warm welcome to my new followers.
**************  
I know it's only June, but the inspiration picture at FOR YOUR INSPIRATION made me think "CHRISTMAS" as soon as I saw it.  For my DT card, I have taken inspiration from the trees, which look white at first glance, yet seem to have a slight hint of pale pinky-mauve - does anyone else see that, or is it just me??!!   

Full challenge details and some fab. work from the DT can be found on the FYI blog.
Look forward to seeing  more of your wonderful work - this is a fortnightly challenge so you have plenty of time to create your project (no excuses)!
************

My Recipe:
Black base card, with a layer of white which I embossed on a Score Board.
The image is  from Layers of Color, stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento, and is designed to work with the Nestabilities Labels 18.
Image softly coloured with Copics Pale Lilac.
Memory Box die - Madera Corner.
SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the wings and Holly leaves - difficult to see on the photo unless you click the pic!
I would like to enter the following challenge ~
HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS - Die Cuts and/or Punches.
*******
Have a fab weekend - 
Love to all ~
