Today's card features an adorable Penny Black clear stamps set called Snowfield Friends which I have stamped using Ink On 3 Fadeout inkpad, & water coloured using Altenew's Watercolour pans.

I've stencilled snow over my scene using Simon Says Stamps Falling Snow stencil & Prima Snowflake Paste & added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Santas Helpers clear stamps set.

As you can see I'm still set on making Winter / Christmas cards because I literally sent only a handful of Christmas cards to family members last year as due to the pandemic work totally drained all my energy and it didn't even feel like Christmas to me at all so I'm determined my cards are being created & written ready to post early this year!

Other supplies used - 

SSS Intense Black inkpad,  Tonic Paint Brushes, Canson XL Watercolur paper, Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Paintbrush, Moonshine Sequins, Embossing Paste Spreader, Neenah Desert Storm card stock
