Urgh! Went to the Doctor's yesterday to get some painkillers for a trapped nerve in my neck and ended up with a full on head cold, yuk! It doesn't help having the workmen going in and out with the doors open!

Good news is i'm still able to craft and here's a card with lots of surprises.

Image is Magnolia 'Me and My Snowman' from the new Aspen collection which i stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Promarkers. I added Glamour Dust, Magnolia's 'Snowflurries' dies, pearls and snowballs from my stash.

Other dies are Go Kreate, JoyCrafts Winter word die and Find It Trading Wintertide Ice Crystal and Spirit of Christmas Snowflake border die.

Lace is from Live and Love Crafts, ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.
