First, I would like to welcome my new followers and let you all know I am so happy you are here. Hope you enjoy your visits and find a little inspiration to take back to your craft room.
Oh my gosh, it's already Sunday night and we have had a beautiful weekend. The weather is gorgeous with low humidity and been in the 80's for the past week, 90's one day. I love it but I'm so ready for some cooler weather, like low 70's, which is due to move in this week along with some much need rain. We've had only a trace of rain for the past month and it's sooooooo dry here. Enough chatter for now, got to get a card finished before bedtime.
I'm entering this card in two challenges:
LOTV Challenge 115 - Let it Snow
Christmas Challenges {with sketches}
Guess I'm going to have to figure out Dutch Time. I missed it...sobs!

The image is from LOTV named "Stamped Feathered Friends" and is available HERE along with lots of other adorable new Christmas stamps. I've colored using Copics, added Polar White Flower Soft for the snow, white velvet flock for the fur on her hat and coat. The pink gem in the bow is from my stash as are the 3 at the top of the card. I colored the Christmas ornaments and then added Gold and Stardust Stickles to make them sparkle. The sentiments are also from LOTV, stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. The lace is from WOC and attached to white ribbon and adhered with Wacky Tacky (I love this stuff for adding ribbon and lace to cards). The snowflakes are made by the MS Snowflake punch and covered with Stardust Stickles. The DP is from my stash and I think it's Bo Bunny, the white glittered and embossed paper is from Imaginesce.
Thanks so very much for stopping by. Been too busy to get around to say hi to everyone but I do think I've made it to everyone that's left comments. If I've missed coming to visit, please leave me a comment and I'll hop on over real soon. I'm going to be taking a class at CMC and try to learn how to color with Distress Inks.... Wish me luck!
