Cute Christmas Card

I have a cute little Christmas card to share with you today - this stamp is one of the new Marianne Design Cats and Dogs designs called Candlelight.  I received it as a gift from Marianne Design (thank you so much!) for my part in promoting the MD products.  I must say it is a pleasure to work with good quality and design craft goodies.

To the card!  I've stamped the image and coloured with my Copics then added Stickles to the snow.  I also used my new Viva Decor Ice White pearl pen as my old Wacco white one is almost out .. .. mmmm - I'm getting used to it and the pearls, although pretty and definitely more pearly, took longer to dry then I thought and I accidentally smudged a couple when moving things about on my desk.  Thankfully mini snowflakes came to the rescue!

Here's the card:

I got a pack of 5" grey cards with envelopes in the Buddly Crafts 50% off sale - could do with more but the grey's all gone. And I am determined to make a dent in my MD paper stash before I dare order any new .. .. so the papers on this card are all from the 6"x6" Wintertime pack. I've added the embossed faux stitching around the edge and inked it with Versamagic Aspen Mist chalk ink.  I cut a mat for the image with MD die CR1201 and a text banner from COL1325, then finished off with mini snowflakes CR1335 and the snowflake from set LR0327 cut from sparkle card.

That's it! a fairly flat card for posting or the doggy charity.  The challenge at Papertake Weekly is for Christmas Critters so perfect to enter! And at the Christmas Card Challenge blog it's anything goes so I can join in with them too.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek, and I hope to see you again soon.
