Day 1 - Holy Florry of Chaos

Use Snow on your creation

I used the image Winter Penguin Trio

to create my card.

I coloured it with copics, added a hand-stamped sentiment and some punched snowflakes.

I found this great sparkle/embossed cardstock in my stash and it was perfect for this snowy-glittery card.

I hope you like what I created and will play along.

Love u !!

I created this card for the latest challenge over at 

Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends.

Challenge #52

Theme - Always Anything Goes

Sponsored by Peppercus Designs

I used the image Snowball Fun which can be found HERE in the Peppercus Design shop.

I coloured this image with copics and added some wink of stella to the snow and snowballs
I added a stamp "Love u" from my stash of rubber stamps.
Matted the image and found some cool black and white heart ribbon
in my stash which goes perfectly with this.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends this week.

I kept the card CAS, and added a greeting from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Something that starts with a "B" (snow BALLS)

I created this cute card using the image Bucket full of Snowballs by Diane's Daydream Designs.

You can't see it very well but the snowballs are glittery and so is the snow and snowman on the bucket !!

I sure had fun colouring this up and creating this card...not sure who I'm going to send it too !!
