In the winter she curls up around a good book and dreams away the cold.
Hey there from Nannyland,
When the crisp cool weather of winter begins, one of my favorite ways to relax is soaking up the brisk air as I sit on my patio reading a good book. A snuggly warm jacket and a cup of warm apple cider are all I need to take me to my happy place.
Emma, the darling girl in this Zekesami digi, looks like she is exactly where she wants to be on a cool, winter's day. I have colored her with Copic markers using warm citrus green and orange hues combined with cool winter shades of blue. I fussy cut the image and mounted her on a lacy oval die cut frame and surrounded her with bejeweled snowflake accents. I was excited to find tiny matching green brads in my stash to add dimension to the front of her sweater. The dots on her mug were made with green and white fine line markers.
I wasn't sure about my color palette when I started coloring, but I really like this mix of cool and warm non-traditional colors. I'm having such fun branching out from my favorite color palettes and experimenting with some new combinations. The inspiration page was created using the Cricut cutting and writing features.
Cool and warm, crisp and cuddly, I love all the contradictions of winter. I hope you are looking forward to the magic of the season as much as I am.
