Colored with pencils, glitter on the snow. Cut around the edges, layered on a glittery silver paper and then 
On a marbled blue that I made with ink. Added some snowflakes and snowman stickers.

CAS gnome


CAS card…
This little wintertime cutie was colored with pencils, fussy cut and layered on a worded Christmas paper. Layered on white cardstock and a few gems to finish up.
I’m not really one for favorite brands …especially paper products. I have several that I like to choose from. This happens to be a random Christmas from my stockpile! I’m not so much about the brand or vendor…I’m more about matching colors.

Santa penguins


Cute little penguins! Colored with pencils. Slim diecut, layered on a grey snowflake pattern paper then on a swirl pattern paper then on a light blue cardstock. Used a bit of light blue ink around the snippet sentiment. And a few gems.  Love using snippets of paper
I love all paper brands and have quite a variety in stock, not really partial to one over the other.

This one is and older one from paper studio Christmas collection. Added a few gems to finish it off. CAS
