Merry Christmas To YOU

Well I did plan on visiting my blog before Christmas but I ended up spending the weeks running up to the big day either baking or wrapping presents.  


Sooo I'm sharing a quick card as its been nearly a month and I'll be back next week properly...




For this card I used the penguin from MFT Ready Set Snow coloured with Prisma pencils.  The big YOU is also from MFT and I heat embossed it in black sparkly, I don't use an anti static bag and as a consequence there are a few a lot of stray spots. I confess I'm too tight to use gimmicks... baby talcum powder and cotton wool balls are perfect, just not when you run out - eek!




The small sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and I finished with my usual white highlights and some stencilled snow drifts.

  1. Oh how CUTE!! I love how you added the snow drifts for the penguin to use his snowboard, and the little Santa hat hanging off the letter U is just plain adorable! Hopefully you enjoyed your time off to celebrate the holidays and a very happy, healthy new year to you in 2020 as well!
