The images are from Chocolate Baroque's Snowy Penguin and the sentiments are from Christmas Magic clear stamp sets.

| I inked up the bg with TH Chipped Sapphire and Tumbled Glass. The snowflakes are stamped in Versacolor Silver and added a few Liquid Pearl dots for texture. |
 |
| Here's a close-up. I coloured the little guys with Graph'It markers, fussy cut and adhered them to the bg. Then I slapped on some Stardust Stickles for a little sparkle and shine. |
 |
| The inside looks like this. |
You may be aware that I am scrambling to make cards for Vera Yates and Jennifer McGuire's Caring Hearts Card Drive to collect cards for the elderly in nursing home. If you'd like to join in, just head on over to Jennifer's blog post on the Caring Hearts Card Drive for all the details.
Here are 3 more quick makes for the cause with the same Snowmen theme - three Snowmen! Yay!
 |
| I stamped the Snowman with Versafine Black Onyx on watercolour paper. Kept it very simple with a few snowflakes in the bg with VersaMagic Sea Breeze. |
 |
| Here's a close-up. I used Caran d'Ache Supracolor Soft Aquarelle pencils. Added some Stardust Stickles for a little icy sparkle. I stamped the greeting with VersaFine Majestic Blue. |
