HO-HO-HO

Hello everyone and Welcome to the Lawnscaping winter blog hop. I am glad to be part of this fabulous hop. If you have arrived here from the very talented Laurel's Blog, then you are on the right track. For the complete list of participants go HERE at the Lawnscaping blog. The theme this time is WINTER...well  its perfect for the festive season:)


I used one of my favorite set to create my card. Love this train from Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum set and the cute bird from Making Frosty Friends!! I also used some Goosebumps by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko on my background. It gives a nice texture and glass like effect. perfect in every way :)


I used my Memento inks for the background and colored in the image using Memento markers. I even colored my twine with them :) For the snow I used some Shimmer Spritz in Frost. It looks very nice in real life. Lastly...the train carrying all those gifts and leaving ho-ho.ho smoke is done using Smitty's ABC





Hope you had fun visiting. Dont forget to comment on all the blogs by Sunday, 12/15 at 11:59PM EST as there are some superb prizes, more details at Lawnscaping blog.
