Ice Queen

Sharing today's DT project for Polkadoodles from the new Octavia Frosted Winter Collection.
Having a go with my new Lyra Rembrandt Polycolour pencils, they are awesome , they blend so beautifully with little effort.
I've chosen to use  Ice Queen and a paper and embellies from the collection, together with a couple of flowers from my crafty stash. I used My Craft Artist to add the door way and wreaths to the backing paper before printing it out. I then cut out the flowers and 3D'd them onto the doorway.
She looks like she's had enough ice skating for one day and is off inside for a hot chocolate!
You can grab the Ice Queen here in the shop:
