So here's the sketch...
This is such a fun sketch and with Digi Stamp Boutiques wonderful images, the possibilites are limitless. Here's what I did with it...
The image I used is Skater Francis and he's just so adorable!! I really liked this sketch because I was able to pull out some tools that I haven't used in a little while and not that I live in Florida, I think this will be the only snow I see for quite some time.
In this photo you can see that glitter highlights I added to the snowflake. It reminds me of how the snow looks that hasn't been disturbed by footprints and th sun is shining on it. Nature's true dazzling diamonds!
Supplies:
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, shades of blue from Cape Cod pack (Recollections)
Copics: B000, B00, BG01, BG05, BV00, BV02, C8, C10, YR16

Hi Melissa, I love your card that image is just so cute. Isn't it nice to be able to use equipment that just sits there sometimes I did the same myself this week. I must get the Snowflake not sure to get the Cuttlebug or Spellbinders what do you think? Our Christmas here in New Zealand is hot and it's BBQ time I find it hard to put snow and icicles on cards but it does look so good.
Take care and I do hope you have a great week.
Hugs

Love this Christmas card, what a sweet image (one cute penguin). The embossing really pops with this sketch.
This is so adorable and I love the colors, snowflakes and how cute the penguin is. Makes me want to make some winter cards!
