Let It Snow - Simon Says Stamp DT

Hello lovely peeps,
My Christmas trees are up and twinkling at last, I have even made a decent effort at Christmas shopping, hopefully I will get it all finished by the weekend or is that just wishful thinking lol.

On to today's card -
 
for
& this week our challenge is
LET IT SNOW

I so nearly went for the quick option and made a CAS card but I was missing my Magnolia's too much so out came a couple of oldie's for an inking.
The copic colours I've used are -
 body - C3, C1, C00, BV000, B0000 / YG15, YG13 / RV00,  hat, gloves & scarf - C3, C1, C00 / RV95, 9V93, RV91

As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous

 I'm entering my card in the following challenge-
Make It Monday - anything goes

My lovely friends at Simon sent me a gorgeous selection of Washi Tapes to play with and I couldn't resist squeezing in a little more play time and came up with a CAS card and gift envelope.
 After hearing stories ages ago of untrustworthy posties slitting envelopes & giving them a shake to see if money etc falls out whenever I send a gift voucher or even cash / cheque in a card I always make a mini envelope to pop it in and attach it to the front inside flap of the card & that way it's not obvious there is anything of any value inside the card.
Simon's cute little envelope dies are perfect for this and I simply ran some washi tape along the inside edges and a matching strip down the front before popping an Eliza snowflake on to pretty it up. Easy peasy and so quick to make :)
If you missed my previous post with mini candy in & want to win some of these -
keep on scrolling.
I just had a horrible thought! I am working today and both my posts are scheduled so if the mini candy post is missing don't worry, you aren't blind & I haven't gone totally mad lol, I will sort it out when I get home from work :)
Thanks for stopping by
