Happy Thursday dear friends !!

Today is a new challenge over at Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog and today our theme is Button it !!!

We would like to see buttons on your project.

Today I am using All Wrapped up from Lily Of The Valley. I have had prisma pencils forever and thought I would finally try it again. I am not real pleased with how it turned out but it is better than my other try's lol  I added some glamour dust to her glove warmer and some twinklets for snow.

Winter Wonder

scacdsm


Hello dear friends !!! Seems like forever since I got to post. I am glad to see my scheduled posts have posted. Work is still crazy so my craft time is scarce.


But this adorable Winter Wonder from Susana’s Custom Art and Cards is one I made sure I got to do today. Isn’t she just the cutest??


I have colored her with my copic’s and I also used some other products that I got from Susana’s Custom Art and Cards that I just had to show you.


I used some Satine Mother Of Pearl paint on all the fur, this stuff is just wonderful. It has so much texture to it I just used a brush to put it on and it had sparkle to it also but I went ahead and added some glamour dust to it also to make it really shine.


I added some glamour dust glitter paint to the edges of the Magnolia Poinsettia die and on the holly berries and her glove. Then I used Hologram glitter pen for the snowflakes and snow. I had a blast using these new products I had bought. You all should try these out.


My papers are from Bo Bunny's Father Christmas Collection that I also bought at Susana’s Custom Art and Cards.


The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, I just love this that I have it in several colors.


The holly punch is from MS and the sentiment is from Lily Of The Valley. I used the SU ticket punch for my corners on my image and all papers have been distressed with distressed ink.

Here is a close up of the image so you can see the texture in the Satine Mother Of Pearl.
