A snow family on a vintage Christmas card.  That's what my hubby saw when I showed him my card using this image from Anne Fenton.  Anne is sponsoring us this month at Outlawz Sketch.

I've coloured the snowmen with ProMarkers, cut the image out with a Spellbinders die.  It's been edged with blue ProMarkers and DecoArt glitter.  I've also added some snowtex for some texture. 

Here's our sketch for today

I've used design papers from Craft & You which give it a lovely vintage feel and stayed with the sketch this week,

The glass star button were bought in Hobby Craft and I've had them in my stash for ages :D
