    1. Thanks Donna! I used "Snow Tex" by Deco Art. I think I bought it at Michael's and it has lasted me years. Sometimes it gets a bit dry but it is water soluble, so I just add a few drops of water and stir it up again. Takes about an hour to dry after applying. After I applied it to the edges with a craft paint brush, I sprinkled on some glitter so that the snow would sparkle. Can't tell in the photo, but it does sparkle IRL.
      Thanks again!

  24. Crissy I don't know how you keep coming up with such adorable designs. The giggling penguin in the design on this card and the expression on the reindeer in training are classic. Your card is absolutely stunning. Do you think you could package up just a little teensy bit of your amazing creative talent and post it to me for Christmas.
