Sketch Saturday - Winter Scene

This card is inspired by the sketch at Sketch Saturday. I'm in the mood for Christmas, and this is my second Christmas card this week. I've hardly been at home, so I haven't made that many cards lately, but I'm looking forward to this week-end as I've planned to spend a lot of my time relaxing with crafting.

For this card I've used a free stamp that came with a magazine. I've colored it using Promarkers. I still prefer to use my watercolor pencils, I need a bit of practice to get more comfortable with the pens, I guess.
I've added a lot of glitter, glitter glue and glossy accent.
Except for the background paper, I've used papers from Landstoken Paperdesign - they've got some lovely collections of Christmas papers. 

I enter this card into these challenges:
1) Anything Goes Challenge - #77 Animals
2) Sketch Saturday - #228 Sketch
3) Stamp and Create - Winter Wonderland
4) PaperPlay Challenges - Simply Cute
5) Stampin With The Dragon - Animals (2nd entry)
6) Make it Monday - Anything Goes

    Another great card with those great, manly looking papers. Just really loving this look!
    Cute image for a freebie...we do not get the freebies over here...are they a digital dowload or do they actually put an acrylic stamp in the magazine?
