Winter Critter Tree

Good morning, this week Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Pile It On and their theme is Sparkle! I used the tree from Winter Critters and had to print it out 3 times because my liquid pearls kept spitting at the most annoying time! I had the first one done and the second last pearl spit, realllly bad. I started another one and the second pearl spit, grrr. SO finally the third try was successful. I also used a glitter sakura gel pen on the Christmas balls, otherwise I kept it pretty simple.
