Warm Wishes

I made a bit of a dent in my Christmas card list today, thank goodness.  But only because I decided to change tactics.  I am making everything in pairs, 2 cards of every design (which is something  I never do).  So I will share one of them with you today.

Paper: cardstock (PTI); designer paper (MME: 12 Days of Christmas)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black; Copic Markers; Iced Spruce distress ink; PTI's Aqua Mist dye ink
Stamps: Hero Arts (AR159); PTI (Tiny Tags 1 & 2)
Other: Diamond stickles; Perfect Pearl Mist; Clear Embossing powder; dyed crinkle ribbon; PTI's Tiny Tags die; Dimensional squares

I found an already cut out oval and saw that this cute snowman fitted really nicely into it.  So I stamped and embossed him and then coloured him with some copic markers.  I also used some Iced Spruce to distress a little around the edges. (I am loving that colour!).

After adding a strip of patterned paper to my card I tied some crinkle ribbon and added the tag, and then I adhered the snowman image, which I had spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mist, using some dimensional foam! 

I like it, it's kind of cute and I am enjoying using the patterned papers from the "12 Days of Christmas" 6 X 6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye.

Well, we are quite cold here today!  It was 39F when I went for my run this morning.  Although my body stayed warm, my nose, lips and ears did get quite cold!  But I was really enjoying myself, and running in cold weather always makes your times faster which is a real plus!

I hope that you are all having a great day where ever you are!
