Another non-traditional Christmas card - I think I need some therapy as this is various shades of pink with black - oh my!!! For this card I have used various scraps of papers from The Creative Cottage that I had leftover from a handbag and shoe card - as I think these papers came in a set with them or a cottage scene - and certainly not for Christmas!!! I have used another Nitwits Collection called Joyful Hearts which I saw a blogging friend use and I thought they were cute. I didn't have much time to play but the pink snowman caught my eye and the pink trees which I covered with some glaze and Stickles to add dimension. I added some Stickles for snow. I have hacked the edges of the paper with Tim Holtz's distressing tool, ran Versamark around the edges and then put on some glittery embossing powder which I bought when I first started crafting and have barely used as the glitter gets everywhere. The card is finished off with some black ribbon, shocking pink holographic card (which looks black on the photo no matter how many photos I took in different light) and some card candy.
