Whimsical Neighbourhood !

Afternoon everyone,
Its got very chilly again, and we have a sprinkling of snow on the mountains ! I took a pic this morning from the car , not a good pic , sorry ! we often get snow in the winter months, but it never lasts very long and doesn't cause any problems as its mainly on the mountains and higher ground.We are in for more on Thursday..I love it !
The card l am sharing today, has another digi from Lyn  (spider)  her digi store can be found at Dragonsmoore, I have used this image before on a halloween card,so its very versatile and was a freebie.I have coloured it with promarkers and pencils. I have added some stickles glitter glue,to give it a fun feel ! The  butterflies are recycled and I have applied glue and different coloured Cosmic Glitters. l have added some little flowers and gems..The satin ribbon and papers are all from my stash.Its a large 8x8 card ....l am entering this card into the following challenges..
Wishing you all a lovely evening ! susan x

The card l am sharing today, is for a 25th wedding anniversary.l have made an easel card and used  silver mirri, pearls, silver beads and cut some hearts out.
