This card is for the two September Christmas card challenges and the colour challenge for last week.
Quite a quick card with the hardest bit being making the background tartan. I used a number of different nibbed markers and a ruler to achieve this.
I used DecoArt Snow Writer to achieve the snow and just scribbled marker colour onto a gloss tile and picked it up with an aqua pen.
I heat embossed the greeting and that's it folks.
Hope you like it, cheers Marg

Wow, awesome job with that tartan background--I thought it was DP! Your snowbird is adorable, such lovely coloring you've done!

Marg, this is beautiful and your snow gives it such a wintry feel. I love your bird and the pretty holly. Fabulous job on the tartan background.
