I've actually given one of these cards already - my first one this year! - to someone who I know would understand/forgive me !!
I had two white colouring pencils in my stash so decided to stamp two of the Gorjuss snowmen and see which coloured better - the white Crayola I stole from my youngest, as it turns out. To be fair, the other pencil is a watercolour one and looked better when I'd gone over it with a blending pencil I didn't know I had (couldn't understand why there was no colour when I used it!!).
The snowman was easiest to colour, I struggled on the robins (trying to keep the right amount of pale face on it was only a partial success) and going around the edge of the snowman with grey to make it pop was tricky on kraft.
I added the falling snow with a white gel pen - at least I know how to handle that!!

I'm very happy to have him sitting on my mantelpiece smiling at me . Hmm, I think I have a pack of Crayola pencils left over from the days of minding little A, I must see if I can find it.
