Let It Snow!

I "shop-lifted" this extremely adorable card layout from My Paper Secret at www.mypapersecret.blogspot.com. I used silver and gold acrylic paint markers from Elmars to create the snowflakes, and black for the sentiment. The red edge was from red Crayola color pencil blended with mineral spirits (I'll do a post on that later). I drew and cut out the snowman, using mineral spirits to blend again- and glued half a pom pom on the stomach. Then, I glued it onto the sentiment's tag. You canh't really see it, but the image is also attached to a foggy piece of plastic. The whole piece was mounted onto the base card.

Yeah, I know its not Christmas, yet, but making Christmas cards is so addicting!

Tea Card

Hi everyone! It's good to be back- I still have a mountain amount of homework to do, but escaped for a few minutes to share with you guys this card I made a few days ago. I created this spotted red tea card with beige rectangles, and a tied brown ribbon. I actually cut a slit through the left (took a minute to know) to string the brown ribbon around. When I give this to someone, I'll probably stick a moss-rimmed tag under the bottom of the ribbon- like an actual gift!
Have a stress-free day and see everyone next post.
