Tis the Season

Christmas in July, yes! This is the first summer in 5 years where I haven't been busy with Christmas card workshops, it seems very strange indeed. So I guess I need to make the cards on my own and I used this beautiful image from Doodle Pantry. It does come in a coloured version, however I coloured this one myself and really like how it turned out. A very fast, simple and easy card. I'm entering this into:

Paper: whisper white, real red
Ink: none
Other: prisma markers, EK success snowflake punch, MS snowflake punch, stampin up classic/scallop oval punches, spellbinders classic/scallop circles, ribbon, cuttlebug snowdots embossing folder, recollections mini brads

    Very pretty! I have that embossing folder, and the funny thing is, I was just looking at it the other day when I was reorganizing my room. :)

    Ooh so pretty! Love the crisp feel of this, and your sweet snowflakes -- they remind me of little candy canes. Thanks for sharing this with us at Tuesday Throwdown! :-)
