Moving Along with the Times November Challenge ~ Winter Wonderland

Hi Crafty Friends,
Moving Along with the Times challenge blog has released its November theme, Winter Wonderland.
I took an online card class from SCT and was introduced to LDRS cardmaking kits.I used papers from the Wildwood Cardmaking kit for this project.

I also added branches from Sizzix and a Gina K Designs sentiment made using thermal foil and her Shimmering Christmas Polyglaze sentiments.  I ink splattered the design paper before adding the die cuts and sentiment.  LDRS also has rub on "splatters" if splattering isn't your thing!

I hope you'll join our challenge this month.

The die cut images are all from Simon Hurley for Spellbinders Simon's Snowglobe set which included three different sets to change up the scenes.
