Last Christmas Card

It just very well might be.  6 days left...a whole lot of baking, cooking and wrapping left to do before the big day, and in the midst of holiday prep, I not only have one, but two very sick little girls with bad sinus infections and a touch of the flu that is going around :(  Please pray that they can kick this before Christmas and that the rest of my household doesn't get it in the interim!!

Anyway, on to my card share for the day!  I used another Elizabeth Bell image which is just darling and paired it with an MFT sentiment from one of their sets.


She is colored in Copics and outlined in a Tim Holtz distress Marker.  Her trim and snow beneath her feet is slathered in Star Dust stickles.  Had to use my new go-to pad by MME called Winter Wonderland to pull it off and added some liquid pearls for "snowflakes".  I've had that gorgeous snowflake brad in my stash since last year and thought it went perfectly.  Some Peapod twine finishes it off.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and thanks for stopping by to take a peek!
