This time of year we are having a mixed bag of tricks weatherwise. It lots of times snows a bit overnight and then in the daytime it is melting the snow away as we have been having temperatures in the 40's in the daytime. So I can imagine that this card might depict what a lot of snowmen look like now. I used a digital set from Jan's Digitals called Magic of the Season. I think it makes for a nice card for winter and for the holiday season as well. The image was already colored so I used that for this card.
I brushed on some light blue to make a definite division between the snow line and the sky. I hope that I succeeded in getting that point across. It is a CAS card but I guess that is my style and what I like to make. I made six of this design. I am entering this in the February Rudolph Days.
Well my last wound care appointment I had the wound vac taken off. Now I have a small bandage on and they packed the tiny wound I have left with some collagen and silver treatment. I still have to go back twice a week to have it changed but at least I don't have to trip over the tube from the wound vac anymore. I got so used to it that subconsciously I sometimes still feel like I have it on. LOL So that is my good news. Also my hubby is well on the mend now too from his surgery so life is getting better.
It seems all of your comments are going into my spam folder these days. So I don't always see your comments right away. Before they came to my inbox. But even if I see them later on I still want you to know I appreciate each and every comment. Everyone have a great weekend. I am in cleaning mode these days as we are getting guests Saturday.
Take care everyone and God bless, Verna

Love that image and your subtle sky is amazing!
Great job with your sponging to create your snow and sky. Glad to hear you and your husband are doing well.
Awesome card. Love that image. Glad to hear you and your hubby are ding so much better. Have a great weekend.
Cute image, but I have to feel sorry for the poor fella! Your snow to sky division works perfectly, giving the feel of each separately.
I'm so happy to hear that you're healing, as is your hubby! God is good, and He is blessing you.
Stay well and enjoy your company.
What a fabulous image used on your card l just love it great to read that your recovering well also your husband continue to do so sending lots of virtual hugs xx
What a lovely image and Winter card Verna. Yes we have had very mixed weather this past couple of weeks. Glad life and your medical issues are getting better for you both Verna....Sending hugs x. Enjoy your visitors on Saturday x.
This is a smashing card and I like that you did the blue sponging. I had to chuckle when I saw this. It is adorable. So glad to hear that you are both on the mend.
That's such a fun image and so perfect for your Rudolph Days entry! I love that little jingle bell LOL It's wonderful news to know you are recovering nicely along with your husband, so hopefully things are looking up for you both! Take good care! Hugs!
Yay for getting the Wound Vac off. Oh how I hated that thing.
Your card is so CAS and cute. I love it. Great image. [Bunny]
I love your added blue, it feels like the wind is swirling the magic around. Congrats on the advanced in health for both of you.
Beautifully made Verna. The sky background is perfect! So glad to hear that you are both on the mend. Have a great weekend!
What a delightful card, Verna, especially paired with the snowy bank and your all-too-realistic story! 40s are cold to us thin-blooded Floridians, and that is your HIGH! Yikes! LOL It's so interesting what a little geographic change can make in our country. Leslie and I talk about that all the time, since she lives as far northwest as you can get, and I live as far southeast as you can get LOL I'll be casing your card, because it is OH SO CUTE! Wishing you a great day, and hoping you are feeling much better these days. hugs, de
I like that image. It is a bit 'different' and fun. The blue sponging certainly worked. Kate x
What a lovely card Verna and how nice of you to hop over from Rudolph Days and leave a sweet comment. You now have a new follower. If you ever use snippets (scraps) in your card making - do think about coming to play with us in the Snippets Playground!

This gorgeous card reminds me of the first time we watched The Snoman film with our grandson, he was horrified when the snowman melted. Thank you for joining in the fun at the Rudolph Days Challenge this month.

I love this card and that sentiment along with the image just made me laugh. So true but I hope not until next year. That is good news about you and your hubby. I am always hanging up in the tube from my oxygen concentrator too so I sure know what you mean.
This card is so cute! Reminds me of Frosty the Snowman! Good news about your wound vac and I hope you keep improving each day! Glad your hubby is on the mend too. You guys have really been through a lot.
What a great image! I love your design, Verna, and you did a perfect job with that snow/sky line! I'm so glad you are finally done with that wound vac and that your hubby is recovering well! Hugs, Darnell
What a lovely and fun festive card, Verna and your inking gives it great definition. I'm so glad to hear you and hubby are on the mend and hope your wound will soon be completely healed. How great to be having guests again - it's been so long for us and I can't wait for lockdown to end!
Take care.
Hugs

What a great image that is, and good that you made several of them and jumped ahead on your Christmas cards! It's not so easy this time of year. I love this, Verna! Also good news that you're rid of the drain tube and your hubby is doing well. May life keep on getting better!
What a wonderful image and you used it to perfection. I can definitely see snow and sky.
What a fabulous image! I don’t mind that our snow is melting and will stay away until next winter. :) Happy Rudolph Days!
So glad you are healing so well Verna - and good to hear hubby is healing well too. Life for us older folk certainly has it's challenges and character building times!
Loving you sweet card - it made me smile, thanks
Stay safe
Blessings

Oooo what a stunning CAS card and thanks for joining us at Rudolph Days February Challenge, Luv Sam x
What a pretty card! That pre colored image is awesome
I love this card. The sponging really gives your image the boost it needed. You really have an eye for those things. We are getting more sunshiny days and some warmer temps. I am loving it after those 10 days of frigid temps we had nit long ago. Thanks, for sharing the fab card.
