Holidays are coming

Yippee! I have a week off work coming up soon - more crafting time, well, after more sleep first. I can hear those bells in my head though when you say 'holidays are coming', and I think of coca colas Santa and truck - am I the only one who cannot make Christmas cards without humming Christmas tunes in my head? With this card it was the tune 'baby it's cold outside'.

The stamp is from Elzybells and I've had it for ages - I used my spectrum noir pens to colour it, and then used a kohinoor black pencil to add some more depth to the penguins black, I was really pleased with how it turned out. The paper is from my stash, I used the snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder for the Matt, which I inked up with a versacolour 5 colour pad before embossing to give it a coloured background to the snowflakes. The tag is a whimsy stamp and tag set that I got from quixotic paperie (really great shop, with some fabulous and different stamps). The punch is a tonic studios snowflake punch.

Anyway, hope you like today's offering, sorry for the poor iPad photo quality.
