Winter Challenge at The Four Seasons

Hello, sweet blog friends!  It's time for the January Winter Challenge at The Four Seasons and we hope that you'll come by and share your Winter cards with us.  The awesome inspiration photo gives you several ideas, but this is just a helpful tool to get you started.  You can share any Winter card in this challenge.  What says Winter to you?  We can't wait to see.  I was inspired by the wildlife in the photo.  See that cute little fox down in the bottom left corner of the inspiration photo?  SO cute.

I used basic black cardstock layered with a wood grain patterned paper from the Craft Consortium.  The pretty Winter sentiment is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in the lovely Winter Sentiments Digital Stamp Set.  I cut it using Postage Dies and I cut a smaller one onto which I stencilled a snowflake using Luxe Glaze.  I added a few little pearl stickers as accents.

The darling little fox was cut from wool felt using the Spellbinders Forest Fox Stitching Dies.  I hand stitched the pieces of wool felt using DMC floss and glued together all the pieces.  It came together quite easily and was a lot of fun to make.  I do enjoy stitching.  What does this inspiration photo inspire in you?

Like I mentioned earlier, you don't have to take the inspiration photo literally.  You can enter any Winter cards in this FUN challenge.  We enjoy seeing all the amazing creativity that's shared with us each month and we appreciate you all for playing along with us.

I hope your New Year's Eve was happy and safe and I wish you all a blessed 2025.  We all look forward to seeing the amazing ar you'll share with us this year at The Four Seasons.  Grab your supplies and come join the fun.  We look forward to seeing you there.  Have a blessed week and thank you once again for visiting my blog.  I'm grateful for every visit and comment I get.
