Calendar Challenge: January Aqua and Snowflake

The Craft Barn "endurance" challenge has started and this year it's a Calendar challenge. You can choose to make one page per month or 12 separate calendars (to give out maybe). I chose to make the one and have already some idea as to how it will be structured although I will not reveal it just yet.
A girl's got to keep some mystery...

For this first page the colour is Aqua and the word Snowflake.
I created a scene with Stampscapes stamps and watercolour hills to which I added falling snow with a splattering of gouache.

This being a very small area I have fixed my calendar to the image with a snowflake brad so it can be opened and closed.

Can't wait hear what you think about this...

    Gorgeous Christine, it tick all the right boxes for me.

    January clearout, yes it is annual, come of having so much for demo purposes and once there are new stamps out they always want me to move on and there is just no way I can use so much stuff, so sharing seems the right thing to do. Pleased you added your name.

      Loved your Snowdrop page, Fiona. The mix of fabric, tissue paper and beads adds interest and texture.

    C'est super beau comme paysage d'hiver! Tes couleurs aquarellées sont magnifques, et l'ensemble "fonctionne" bien je trouve.. Trop joli cette premiere page, bravo pour t'atteler à ce challenge calendriers sur la durée (c'est vraiment ce qui m'arrête moi maintenant!) Bises
