Snow queen has it all...

















...and then some! I went crazy with the colours for this card. Have you ever seen so much going on? It was a delight to colour though.

For today's card I've been playing with a wonderful winter scene drawn by Linda Biggs called snow queen.
I couldn't decide on a colour scheme, but knew I wanted to add some sparkle to the flakes. I started out by using blue, but it got a bit too much so after finding these papers with pinks and reds I went all in :) Maybe a bit too much, lol.

















I struggled with it and I'm not sure if I like it or if it's too cluttered. I wanted the image to stand out more, but it almost got lost here. On the other hand it coordinates with the papers and embellishments quite well. Ultimately I think I need to give this image another go.

    I think we are our worst critics. I am always second guessing my work, well I should say I do it about 20 times and sometimes I have to ask my kids what they think. I love the colorsyou used!! GORGEOUS Katarina!!

    lol girl you're sounding just like me. It really is awesome! I think it works because you edged the image panel which really focuses on the image. Seriously it's beautiful.
