For my last two cards I used the beautiful Simon-Says-Clear-Stamps-MELE-KALIKIMAKA
stamp in two different ways. The first one is stamped and colored with copic markers and the second I stamp and heat embossed the wreat. I colored the bow with copic markers and then added lots of GLOSSY-ACCENTS to give it extra dimension The sentiment is cut with the lovely Simon-Says-Stamp-MERRY-CHRISTMAS-Craft-DIES.

I love your cards... that sweet bear face is killing me.
Gorgeous cards and your colouring on the wreath card is spectacular!!!
Karin,
Your cards are gorgeous. I especially love that purple background. Just beautiful!
Gorgeous cards! I adore the little scene, so cute!
So many beautiful cards! I think my favorite is the winter scene, I just love it.
All of your cards are really lovely. I especially like the seashell wreath. I live in Florida, so when I saw that stamp set, I got really excited. We always associate snow with Christmas, which is something we don’t get here, so that set will be a must have for me, and you did a beautiful job with it.
Love what you created!
Beautiful cards, all of them! My favourite is the first one - that sweet bear won my heart, and I love the colour of your background! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful inspiration!

Loved your bear with a unique coloured background. He really stands out and anyone would love to receive him in the mail, but kids especially. Your wreath cards are special. You make the bows pop in a 3D look.

The little bear face is so adorable! I agree, I think this Winter Scene set is so versatile, so many ways to use it and I think it could be used all year.
