Good afternoon lovely peeps!
We are on that downwards slope towards the Winter, I even had to scrape the ice off my car before I could drive to work yesterday. Thanks goodness we have Christmas to look forward to during those cold, bleak months, & on the subject of Christmas (again) I have a Christmas card to share with you today.

My fabulous teamies & I are featuring
goodies on our cards this week. You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we'd love to see them.
On today's card I have featured Impression Obsession adorable Snow Couple & French Background stamps.
I stamped the French Background with a Versamark Watermark ink pad & sprinkled white embossing powder over it and then heat embossed it. I also created another emboss resist panel by randomly stamping some of Simon's pretty snowflakes and heat embossing these also. I lightly inked over the heat embossing with distressed inks for a soft watercolour effect as I also used some lovely pastel paper from MFT's Watercolour wash paper pad to stamp my sentiment on.
The copic colours I've used are -
C3, C1, C00, B0000 / E47, E37, E34 / W4, W2 / B23, B21 / RV95, RV93, RV91
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous
I only have to work a long day tomorrow & then I am on much needed annual leave for 12 days :)

That's me finished for today peeps, thanks for stopping by
