Hubby loves to wear his plaid flannel shirts when it's chilly, so my first thought was to use plaid in my card. But I came across the Tutti Designs Winter Cottage die I won several years ago and had never used. 
We love the mountains and cross country skiing was my favorite winter activity. I would have loved to stay at this cottage! The white glitter paper is so beautiful in person and makes it stand out from the background. Speaking of the background, it's simply a white panel embossed with SSS Forest Border folder. Luckily, I didn't discard the little snowflakes that pop out of the diecut so I could add them across the top. The little sentiment from Winnie and Walter was stamped in PTI Weathervane and matching cardstock was used for the panel and sentiment strip mats. Hubby loves the card, so maybe I can come up with something slightly different for his December birthday card.
You can get a lot more inspiration and all the challenge details on the Time Out Challenge blog. Our generous sponsor is Newton's Nook and it'd be great to see you in the gallery.
So very pretty Greta. Love the sparkly elegance of this one.
ReplyDeleteOooh Greta, this is White magic with all the glitter and those snowflakes, wow! I wish to stay somewhere, beautiful and cozy like this and witness snowfall, just for a vacation though :D
ReplyDeleteThe cottage looks as though it would offer a very cosy retreat in the snow and so clever making such a striking white on white card, they are never easy.

This is so calming and beautiful. I'm still reeling from my glitter experience but your glitter is so sparkly and gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely.... white on white is a tough look to master, but you did it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThis works so well. The white on white effect is enhanced byt the wonderful glittery paper. Wish I could see it in real life xx
ReplyDeleteI like your pretty little glittery cottage nestled in the white forest. This is a wonderful card, Greta!

ReplyDeleteSuch a charming village, Greta - love the glittery village atop the embossed trees!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and glad you shared at Die Cut Divas too!!
ReplyDeleteHi Greta! First thing before I forget? How is Fritz? We lost our sweet Belle about two years ago, and our hearts still look for her. Just so different without her. Anyway, hope he's doing well. I love this card. The textures are lovely, and I'm guessing even more so in real life. I enjoy cards with texture and depth. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at Word Art Wednesday. It's always a treat seeing your lovely cards linked up with us and I appreciate you so much for it. Please email me and let me know if you'd be interested in being a GDT for me in 2025. I'd love to have you again. I look forward to chatting and hope you are well, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cozy place to be inside by a fireplace...while the snow falls quietly outside!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant white on white design Greta! I'd like to stay in this cottage too! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteYour all in white Christmas scene is so pretty, Greta. Thanks for sharing at Die Cut Divas :)
ReplyDeleteWow... beautiful white on white design, Greta! Love all the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous, Greta. It looks like an ice castle and the embossing folder was a perfect choice for the background.
ReplyDeleteHi Greta, I love the white on white and you chose just the perfect background for this gorgeous die. WOW. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteIt's so ironic that a scene that illustrates cold and snowy can be so warm and cozy, as I am sure it is inside that lovely house. I love the white on white design and all the great detail in your die cut and embossed background.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous, Greta! I love a white on white card and you can still admire all the texture here!
ReplyDeleteWhite on white is so elegant and I love this stunning card! Beautiful die!
