Purple Christmas and some exciting news


SECOND POST FOR TODAY.
I can now share some exciting news with you. I have been invited to join the design team at Kaboodle Doodle. I really hope you will all support me by joining in their challenges. I also found out today that I have won some surprise blog candy from the ABC Christmas blog.

I decided it was time for a purple Christmas card. This is my new Greeting Farm stamp from Quixotic Paperie entitled Sassy Suzie. She is coloured with Promarkers, glitter on the fur on her coat. I chalked and inked around the image which is cut with a Nellie die cut. Purple glitter snowflakes cut with my new MS punch. The snowman paper is cut with an MS star border punch. The snowflake charms I have are all blue and silver so I coloured it with a PM. I didn't know if it would work but it did and matches perfectly.

Challenges
