The challenge is to do a quick flat card for the holidays and limit the layers. Okay I did but if it werenÂ’t the challenge I would add another layer for sure, thatÂ’s just me no matter how long it takes!
-The trees are inked with markers; smear a little glue and glitter.
-The sentiment is stamped on then the trail is drawn in freehand, glued and glittered.
-Hedgie is colored with Prismacolor pencils.
-The snowflake corners are die cuts from the Cuttlebug just glued on.
-Tiny dots of glue were added all over the card for snowflakes and glittered.
-I didnÂ’t have the right color cardstock for the ink so I just did the direct to paper technique. New stampers: direct to paper is rubbing the ink pad over the cardstock.

What a cute card! I've been worried about adding too many layers to my cards for Christmas mailing with the USPS so it is wonderful to see flat can be wonderful! I really like the touches you added with glitter and especially Hedgie's trail.
