Winter Wishes

In trying to keep up with my Christmas cards for the month here is number 2. And I guess that they were more Winter cards. I tried to follow a couple of themes which was to use a reindeer, house, trees, red/gold, no stamping, ribbon which just fits with my own goal of using some of my die cuts that have been collecting dust. I had fun creating this scene.

Today at Catch the Bug it's Friday Freebie and we have this adorable Winters Fairy. For my card I stamped the sentiment from a Verve (retired stamp set). I was on a monochromatic theme with this mint green and added sparkle with clear Spectrum Noir pen and Sakura jelly glitter pen.

There is snow one like you

Today is a New Release day at Catch the Bug and it is the Prize Gift set from the Holiday Chaos set.  I colored this snowman with a hot pink scarf and blue birds.  I wanted some non-Traditional Christmas colors.
Make sure to check the site if you played the Holiday Chaos to see if you won any prizes!!!
I know this weekend we got a little snow and then Monday some more...so for those of you who also got snow please be safe since people are just getting used to slippery roads and sidewalks once again. Stay warm.  And to those in warm areas with no snow well....carry on, hehe.  As I sit in my craft room typing with my space heater going LOL.
