Dashing Through The Snow!


It's never too early to get a head start on making those winter holiday cards! 
 Wheee! Look at this little Sledding Snowman cutie, I love the expression on his face! He has been inked up in Memento's Gray Flannel and colored with Copics. Clear Wink of Stella was brushed on his face for that icy glistening. I have heat embossed the new Snowflake Set onto a heavy weight vellum for the background. I also added dots on the snowflakes with a Pearl Pen in light green. The fun small snowflake die cuts are actually from the "o" in the "Snow" die!





I thought Bo Bunny's,"Candy Cane Lane" paper paired nicely with, "Dashing through the Snow" for the inside of my card. The three large stamped snowflakes are from the Snowflake Set.

Thanks for looking!
