{DT} - Christmas Snails :)

Hi everyone and happy Sunday :-)

Today is the first Sunday in November (oops.. is it really November already?!) and that means there's a new challenge starting at  
Let's Ink It Up Challenges

This time we want to see you using your favorite technique
I have many techniques, I like to use and decided to do some distressing with inks on this card

The lovely Nancy from Lelo Design just asked me, if I want to do a little bit of guest designing to help spread the word about her new winter/christmas collection and I was happy to accept, because I really like her cute images.. especially the super sweet snails, she always draws!

So here's my card using one of the brand new (yesterday released) Lelo stamps from the 2011 winter/christmas collection:

I colored all of the snow parts with Twinklings H2O in heavenly white which gives it a nice and subtle shimmer, but unfortunately it doesn't show in the picture.

card recipe:

• stamps - Lelo Design 'Sleigh Snails'
• coloring mediums - Tombow Dual Brush pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils, Twinklings H2O in heavenly white, Sakura white gel pen
• patterned papers - Love Me Do by Jady Day Studio
• tools - Big Shot
• other supplies - American Crafts blue cardstock, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 8(?), May Arts white sheer ruffle ribbon, Sew Sweet crinkled seam binding in Baby Blue, snowflake metal charm from stash, foam tape from stash
