The makings of a Special Birthday card..

Thought I would show the stages of this card.. 

Colored in my stamp and now I'm ready to die cut her out.

Ice Skating anyone ???

Made this card for my childhood girlfriend... Its her birthday in Feb and we used to skate together a lot when we were younger.  She loves purple so I made the skirt and mittens in her favorite color.  

Here you can see the glitter dots I added to the snowy background. 

I pop dotted her for some dimension.

The tree background and pond in this is one background die.  So glad I bought it as I have several stamps that I can use with this die.

Winter Cocoa and friends....

I did stamp the Merry Christmas banner after this photo and added it to the top of the card.  It added a finishing touch.  Its always fun getting to do some coloring. The background tree's are one new die and I thought it went perfect with some of the new stamps I've bought recently.  Its so versatile. Thinking great in black for Halloween also.  Ready to have a stamping/coloring day with hot cocoa and friends...

  

Icebergs and penguins !!!!

Added some white dots to the scarf and lines to the other scarf to make them stand out.  Glitter to the ear muffs and iceberg.  

Here you can see the clear dots of snow on the pink paper behind the penguin.
