Good Morning fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop. Our hop is a very exciting one for all of us at it is in celebration of our 1st Birthday!!!! If you have landed here from LIV'S BLOG then you're heading in the right direction - if not then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, as you'll not want to miss out on this one! Our Design Team have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter Website and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.
The first card is using one of our latest digis called "Santa cute helper" and is available in store here.
The dp I have used is from Magnolia. The trees are a Marianne die and I've edged them with a snow writer and glamour dust. The snowflake die is also by Marianne, the ribbon is from my stash and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also used flowersoft on the trims of her clothing and her hat.
Here is the close up of the sweet image coloured in with a combination of Spectrum Noirs and Copics.

The swirl is a doohickey die and the snowflakes are all Marianne dies. The huge pearl brad in the centre of the snowflake is from Wild Orchid Crafts.
