Let It Snow!

Another Christmas card today, I'm afraid...although my pile is growing nicely, I still need to keep cracking on with them. I've used an adorable Lili of the Valley James the Bear image called 'In the Snow', which I coloured using watercolour pencils. I embossed some blue Core'Dinations card using my Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' and 'Ice Crystal' folders, sanding over it to reveal the core...then lightly distressed the edges with my distressing tool. I used my EK Success 'Scalloped Diamonds' punch for the border, and cut the snowflake using my Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' die...it's held in place with an American Crafts sparkly brad.

    My favourite ted! Just gorgeous hun, you do embossing like no one else, it always looks so good. I used James for last week's LOTV so thought I'd better find something else for this weeks, lol! Hugs Sxx
