A Glittery Peppermint Snowfall

A blanket of glistening snow covered the grounds this morning, a true herald to winter's rapid approach. The house gnomes have been busy keeping fires stoked in the hearths whilst the Lady Commander of Copics has been huddled in furs, cloaks and scarves, trying to stay warm. In an effort to stave off my chill, I have opened the winter stores and have been consuming the Christmas teas we have on hand - gingerbread, candy cane, peppermint - each one reminding me that not only is winter coming, but Christmas too!

I started by colouring Kraftin' Kimmie's "Willard" with Prismacolors. The peppermints I cut using the Simply Charmed cartridge and added some cherry red glitter after much urging from the Guardian of Glitter. At least I gained +79 shimmery exp points. I embossed the green shimmery piece of paper with my Cuttlebug. The sentiment was pieced together using Lawn Fawn's "Cozy Christmas" set and a cheap Inkadinkado stamp for the word "sweet".

The inside sentiment and peppermints were stamped from the October Afternoon "Very Merry" stamp set. 

I made a peppermint pattern envelope for this card to make is SUPER matchy!

Based on the weather thus far, I do believe we are in for a harsher winter than last year. I know the direwolves will be pleased as they love to frolic in the fresh snowfall. I suppose it is time to unpack the winter furs and accessories.
