The embossing was done in Recollections Snow embossing powder.

I made the background using Tim Holtz Oxide Inks in Faded Jeans and Broken China and also Night of Navy by Stampin' Up.

I stamped some snowflakes using a very faint white ink, added some snowflakes and voila. \

My kitties where colored using Stampin' Up Blendabilities in Crumb Cake (Light and Dark). For the hats I used Copic Markers R24 and R89. I added some little pink cheeks Copic R81.
