The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday this week is snow or snowflakes which is pretty easy at this time of the year so I knocked this small one up quickly. I coloured in my Penny Black image with copics and then to add a 3D element to the card I used my Snow writer to add snow in all the relevant places. When this was dry, I added Crystal Stickles to the snow to make it glisten. I then mounted to some red mirror board. The background paper is the Christmas stack from DCWV. The sentiment is PC generated and I finished off with some brads and gems.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Penny Black); Paper- Christmas stack (DCWV); Assorted cardstock; Mirror board; Copics; Snow writer; Brads (Lakeland); Stickles (Ranger); Gems (Lakeland); Sentiment- PC generated

Oh this is fab Steph, great image and I love all the 'snow' thanks for joining in the CCT challenge
Oh this is gorgeous! I've just made my card for CCT and just seen yours. I love the snow effect xxx
The perfect Christmas card Steph with my fave PB Christmas stamp ever! Love your colouring, the paper and those gorgeous little boots! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment today. About the sponging. I use an ordinary bath sponge cut up, load the sponge dab off on scrap paper so there aren't any heavy splodges, I start sponging away from the card/image on the scrap paper and work in circular movements on to the card/image which gives quite a nice smooth effect. Sometimes I like to add a bit more texture and then I dab where I want it heavier with slightly more ink, depends on the image etc. When I first tried this I practiced on scrap card to get the feel of it. Hope that helps. Chris x
