Red Dots paper is by BoBunny and the blue paper is from Basic Grey.

This adorable bear stamp is one of the new ones from Stampavie, it is by Gillian Roberts and is called Bear and Robin. I stamped him on Crayogen White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Crayogen White has a very nice shimmer to it, it reminds me of Stampin Up Shimmer White but I like it even better.. The image was colored with Copic Markers. I used the largest Shaker on this card. Scallop and Circle Nestabilites to cut out the frame for the shaker. I put just a few pinches of Flower Soft in Polar White. It sure looks like the snow!! So, so pretty!!

Blue flowers are from BoBunny and the swirls on the sides of the flower are the EK Success Swirl punch. Dew drops in the corners and in the center of the flower. Sentiment inside of the cards is from Penny Black.
