From Snowflakes to Snowman

When I realized I needed just one more Christmas card, I was at a loss as to what to design.  Factor in that I needed it within a few hours and you can understand my dilemma.  I was looking through my drawer where I keep pieces I've have done but not used on a card and the embossed snowman jumped right out at me.  He was done about three years ago when I was experimenting.  He's actually embossed on a piece of green cardstock then sponged with ink, the color of which I don't remember, then I added some glitter to the snowflakes at the base.  I figured he would due nicely for a quick card.  So, here you have it a very quick, simple card but I think it will do nicely.


Stamp Set:  Christmas Magic (sentiment); Ink:  Sweet Sugarplum, VersaMark; Cardstock:  Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White; Other:  Snow Flurries Embossing Folder (Tim Holtz), Snowman Embossing Folder (Tim Holtz), Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (Stampin' Up!), Holographic Embossing Powder (Ranger)

The theme I used is from The Paper Players Challenge.  For more all the challenge details, click the image below.
