Here's today's krafty single layer Christmas card!
I coloured the igloo with white chalk, highlighting with a white koh-i-noor pencil. I wanted the igloo to be quite soft. You could colour with a koh-i-noor entirely for a really striking effect.
The Christmas tree has also been coloured with chalks (chalks are fast becoming my favourite colouring medium on our kraft) and I dabbed my white gel pen on the baubles.
The snowflakes and sentiment have been stamped with our Sugar Candy inkpad and overall, I think it's a sweet little winter card!
I've really enjoyed reading your comments from yesterday's post about what food gets you in the mood for Christmas! Also, if you liked the copic effect on kraft as I did yesterday, my final card of the week also uses copics so be sure to pop back tomorrow!

Hi Elizabeth,
What kind of chalk is best for kraft paper? Also, do you need to spray it to keep it from smudging?
