I created an extra project this week to help out our fabulous Team Leader Choccy and used this gorgeous image Festive Friends by Sylvie Stamps. I adore animals and was drawn to this fun image of a girl playing dress up with her faithful companion.

I coloured the image with Promakers and Flexmarkers. I added some puffy snow but instead of puffing it up I sprinkles iridescent glitter on it. I also used some stickles glitter to add some more depth to the snowdrifts and some gently falling snowflakes in the background.

The card base is covered with a sparkly paper from Craftwork Cards and then I used a snowflake paper from DCWV. The paper is snippet from a 6” square pad and was just a little bit too small for the width so I cut it in 2 pieces as I was planning to put a contrast strip in there anyway. This is just a leftover snippet of striped paper from the same pack, edge with a Martha Stewart punch and some sheer blue and silver ribbon over the top. To finish I added a tag from Dovecraft embellished with some peel offs and Bakers Twine

Hi Mandy! Your blog layout is very beautiful (to start with.) I think your card is adorable and so precious! It takes LOTS of people I bet back to childhood! That truly looks like snow or ice, take your pick. VERY CREATIVE! And your side trim...WOW...you are one great artist. I can not figure out what you did other than it looks fantastic! Everything works so well. AND your coloring is fantastic...SO vibrant and fresh. Mandy, I wish you the best in the challenges this week and of course at ours at Forever Friends. Divine Love, Samara
