SNOW layout

Now that it looks like spring has FINALLY arrived, this winter layout seems a little late... However, until the last couple of days, winter has been the norm around here. We had the most incredible snow and ice storms in late March and April... The photos in the layout below were taken early in April this year - yes, APRIL! By that time, usually the snow is melting around here and we are on our way to the start of spring but not this year. That was why I went for a walk in the gorgeous new fallen snow and took these photos as proof. 

It took me a long time to decide on a colour scheme for this layout and then I wasn't able to find the background paper that I wanted for the circles so I created my own. Peacock was the colour I wanted to use, along with black, white and silver. The flourishes are coloured with ShinHan markers. The hand stitching took FOREVER... All the white snowflakes are cut from white glitter paper although that is very hard to see in the photos. I have included some close ups after the layouts to show some details of sections of the layout.
