Just Us Girls #568 - Photo Week

It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls and Carol has chosen a most interesting one for us.

What do you see in this picture that inspires a card?  Buildings?  Snow? Lights?  The thing that caught my attention was the light pole.
I stamped the lamp post from Penny Black and clear heat embossed it so I could ink the background with several Distress Inks after first masking off the area around the candle.  Then I went in and added yellow ink to the circle, fading it into the blue.  Next came the splattered snow and a sentiment from CP.  I also added a little snow to the post with Snow Marker that puffs when you heat it.

I can't wait to see how the photo inspires you.  Check out the Design Team and guests Carol and Melanie to see what they saw.

Since I know you well, I'm betting you had this post ready before going to NC - it's gorgeous!
A little row of these sweet street lights might just have worked for our CTS Sketch, right? lol
