Presents for Snowie

Well good evening folks, hope you have all had a good day today.  Would you believe I have almost finished my Christmas shopping - yep - well to be fair I don't have that much to buy present wise but I have the most important ones now so the pressure is off.  Wonderful feeling isn't it?
Well, tonight's post is another DT sample I made for Sheila's Challenge at My Craft Creations - All Things Christmas hope you have entered, it is a super prize.
I began with my normal 6x6 plain white card and some matting and layering.  Again the backing paper was a freebie from the Making Cards Magazine - Christmas edition from last year I think.  Do you know, I raided all my making cards magazines and you would be surprised how much backing paper I now have, I haven't had to print our any Christmas backing paper this year - brill.

The image is a stamp I have had for a few years now but I love it so much it comes out every Christmas.  I think it a Sugar Nellie one.  I stamped in black versafine ink and clear embossed it.  I then coloured it in with a mixture of copics and spectrum noir pens.   I also used a sakura pen in places to give a hint of glitter.  I then cut him out, shaped him and placed him on the nestie using glue gel.
The poinsettia is die cut using mirri card and Marianne dies as were the leaves.  All finished off with some ribbon and another die cut from memory box.
Hope you like tonight's post.  Thank you for popping by and good luck in the challenge.
