I've made another easel card this time with my "new Puppy" digi image which is available from A Passion for Stamps. I didn't actually intend to use this image on a Christmas card but when I started to colour it I was drawn to reds and greens and picked out Papermania Jesse Edwards Boutique paper. Towards the end of the card I decided to add some snowflakes because I thought they would look well.
I've added some Papermania glitter glue to the collar and cuffs and also to the snowflakes.
The background "frame" is the negative from a Marianne Creatables die cut and the swirls are from the same set.
It's coloured with Promarkers and I used them to colour the gems too (ruby)
