Onto The Pixie Cottage Challenge #95~~sketch/theme is "Christmas Card"*****Now you can either use the sketch below OR make a Christmas Card Or use both (as I did)!!!

Made my first twisted easel card using "Hannah's Letter" by Sandra Hammer.  Now I love Pics~~so beware :D LOL

Colored Image with Copics and black pastel pencil.  Sponged TH old paper DI to soften edges.  Snow in tree and on ground was given sparkle with DecoArt glistening snow writer pen and after that dried I added a snowier effect using my Marvy Snow Maker pen (this puffs as you heat it and as I found.. you can add several layers-whatever pleases you) to tree, Hannah's hat, cuff on jacket, mailbox, on the ground cover, on the greeting, and as you see more pics you will see it on flower arrangements as well as the Jolee tree embellie that I used :D  LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!

Shows sketch layout and the fun BG Wassail papers.  Red cs is Recollections.  SB tag and SU modern label punch created Hero Arts greeting.  

Lucious arrangement is WOC flowers, stamens, ribbon, pearls and lace!!!  There's that snow again:D--LOL
