Warmth of Friendship

Hi everyone.  Today's card is all about friendship at Christmas time. :)  I love this sweet image Warmth of Friendship by Penny Black.  I stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear.  Then watercoloured with distress inks and added a light blue wash to the background.  Easy and fun card to make. :)  I added a small sentiment at the bottom and splattered some falling snow to finish.

    This card is so sweet. You can tell these little bears are very close friends. I love how you colored the image; the bridge looks so natural. I really like your watercolor cards. This will make a wonderful friendship card for your friends this Christmas.
