Lastly but not least, I also wanted to wish Faith at Designed2Delight a fabulous birthday (it's this Wednesday)!!! Hau'oli La Hanau (Happy birthday), Faith!! Here's a card I made for her using one her fabulous images, Cardinal and Winterberry! (Find it here in her store!)
I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. Added a bit of stickles for the snow on the berries and sponged a blue sky with ink. It might be hard to see but I used the 5x7 snowflake embossing folder for the background and I used a corner embossing folder with snowflakes on the inside (couldn't get a good picture of that!).

Beautiful cards thanks for joining us at Alphabet Challenge.

But my favorite has to be the one with the polarbear. Soo gorgeous!

Hi , WOW both your cards are super. I love them both. Mmm snow you are more than welcome to come and take some of ours here in Scotland!!! Brrr Thanks for joining in on OSAAT this week Hazelxoxo
The Polar Bear card is perfect for many areas on the mainland and what a lovely card it is! Such bling and perfectly placed for a wintery scene, I may have to 'accidently' pack some of those embellishments when I leave your paradise...hmmmm, something to think about!
And Faith's birthday card is such an elegant winter/birthday theme. We are seeing so many Cardinals 'flittin' around our bushes looking for food. Lovely my Kim! See ya soon - weather is looking up for our trip!
Love, SAM aka MOM
