Card #1
My first card features an adorable Adam Pescott stamp that I received from a very kind and generous bloggy friend who prefers to remain anonymous. If you are reading this, I want you to know how much I appreciate your random act of kindness (RAK) - your generosity warmed my heart and brought me much joy - thank you!
This stamp is so cute - it was a purr-fect gift for me and I couldn't wait to ink it up! I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils, added Stickles to the snow, and stamped a sentiment from Plaid. The white panel is embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflakes and I added three strips of Christmas-themed washi tape, a glittery gift sticker, and 3 gems.

Here is my second card, using Digi Stamps 4 Joy image Santa's Letter, which is the June stamp for their Monthly Christmas Challenge.
I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils and layered it onto a glittery foam panel. The sentiment is from Fresh Brewed Designs, but I couldn't find it in their store so it must be unavailable. The white panel is embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflakes.
