Today the Design Team is showcasing the stamp set White Christmas.

Recipe:
Standard A2 card
Cardstock - Papertrey Ink and Recollections
Oblongs from Elegant Edges cartridge cut at 4 inches and then shadow
Digi from Whimsie Doodles
Bic Markers to color
Snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder

Heart Button from stash
Also used memento ink, 2 way glue pen, dimensionals, glitter.
This is not the usual Christmas colors. But I just love pink for Christmas. 



 The color of the heart button didn't match my card so I used versamark on the heart, then added judikins sticky stuff and heated it, then dipped it in pink glitter and then heat embossed it again to set it.  
This is only my second image I have colored. I need to practice, 
This font is so beautiful!
