Whiff of Joy Christmas

Now when we went to Newbury, The Hobby House stall was covered in the wonderful creations of Bev. We was all very taken to the grey Christmas Cards and made sure we brought some of the paper home with us.
After I got over the embarrassing moments of my Sis asking me if I had this stamp or that one which I had to promptly say yes, in the end it was quicker to say the ones I didn't have, yes there was at least one.
I said that I had the stamps in this card but I've struggled to find them, I knew I had them I've pics of the cards I made with them. So you can imagine my relief when at last I find them and when I saw Rach Christmas card for the Whiff of Joy challenge I knew what I was going to do.
Even though this sketch is from Donalda the card was inspired by Bev and the using the raffia was Rach.
The papers are Craft Creations, snowflakes are various dies from sizzix and cuttlebug and I brought the diamond dust for the big snowflake at The Hobby House too. I coloured the girls with Prismacolours and Sansador gosh that was hard, the pigment in the dark grey pencil travelled really well so I had to use very little of it in the end to get dimension.
Any way enough waffle, off to the hairdressers the shaggydog look is so not in fashion.
