I have created the fur look on the snowbaby suit by using a quickie glue pen and seafoam white embossing powder then heating with a heat gun until it bubbles,quite effecive i think.

lovely sentiments

I have found some beautiful sentiments printed on vellum in my local craft shop,i think using one of these with a couple of embellishments make a gorgeous card,i have made 3 , they are quick and very easy to do.i hope you like them
