I believe I'm still a bit short of Christmas cards, I need to do a full inventory check later today... I've chosen non-traditional colors for this card, keeping to black, white and shades of grey. This image is called "Snuggle Christmas" and can be found at Di's Digi Stamps store. I colored it with Promarkers, added lots of glitter to the fur trim of the hat and glossy accent to the nose.
I've used 2 DPs, the bottom layer one is from Authentique and the one with snowflakes is from Echo Park.
I used clear stamps from Kort&Godt to make the postmark details - I just stamped them randomly. I also added 3 pearls and a chipboard corner that I covered with glitter.
This card is for these challenges:
1) 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - Pick a Previous Theme (Winter Animals - #15)
2) Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge - #152 Non Traditional Christmas
3) Pattie's Creations - #81 Christmas Card
4) Totally Papercrafts - #195 Ho, Ho, Holidays
5) Sparkle N Sprinkle - Anything Goes with Glitter/Embossing Powder/Flocking
6) Make it Monday - #169 Anything Goes
Just precious. Loving the monochromatic greys and the postage stamps.

We are getting so close to Christmas...think I am going to blitz off ten cards by chosing a design and mass producing them. Then I just will have one left to make! Yay! I want to get started on my December Daily book...itching to get started but must finish my cards first and get them in the mail.

This is just perfect, Pia. Love the colour combo and the glitter just screams Christmas. And Snuggles looks soooo warm. Maybe what I need is a big floppy hat and an over-sized coat! LOL. I love that postmark stamp.
