I somehow had a feeling Black & White would be one of your twists...That potentially buggers up what my X was going to be...

This is a lovely card. Your sign looks fabulous on the embossed brick wall background and the pops of gold gel pen are are just the right amount of colour.

p.s. Not sure if you saw my reply on your comment on my kitty card.
Beccy one of his cats Missy is the same markings and long haired like this one so it will be perfect for him. He is like the crazy cat lady but in male form. He has a cat cam and checks it whilst he is at work to make sure they behave themselves. His girlfriend would have more given half a chance.....

I want to show you how I colour a night time snow scene using markers and a white gel pen. 

1. Print or stamp your snowman onto a piece of blending card, and colour with cool grey markers. (You can colour with pencils or paints if you prefer).


2. Use a pencil to lightly sketch two "hills" behind the snowman. I've drawn them both on angles for a little more interest.


3. Colour the first hill in four light shades of grey, keeping the lightest area around the snowman and the darker areas at the sides and bottom of the panel. This will help to create a "spotlight" effect.


4. Colour the second hill with the darkest shade you used on the first hill.


5. Add another three shades keeping the darkest area at the base of the hill, just above your first hill.


6. Now colour the sky with the three darkest shades you have - I used C8, C9, and C10.


7. Use white gel pen to add "snow" to the bottom of the snowman, completely covering the bottom line of the image. Add a little more to the top of the hill on either side.


8. Add some "snow" to the top and brim of his hat, his carrot nose and any areas that would naturally catch the snowflakes, such as the gift and tops of his hands.


9. Now completely fill the panel with dots of varying sizes. Remember to take them all the way to the edge and try not to make them too uniform in size or placement.

This card is very cute. Quilting always reminds me of my grandmother. She made beautiful quilts. I have one in my closet not wanting to use it because she is gone now, and I don't want to mess it up in any way.

What a great card. I love the stamp and die set. Watching children open gifts and get something they truly love is so much fun. I remember one of my most favorite gifts was a green sweater that had my initials sewn on the sweater. We were poor so this was just the most fantastic gift ever. I could have cared less about toys. I couldn't wait for everyone to see me in my new sweater. [Bunny]

We always called then Christmas ornaments - or decorations. I have a liitle box that was passed on from my Mum with a note saying that it contained decorations from the late1800s. Whether they are ornaments, decorations or baubles, they are pretty special!
