Just a few snowflakes

Well, the big day is almost here and still no snow....yay!  Although others won't be so happy, it's like Mother Nature is smiling on me....giving me more time to recover from my surgery.  I can still get out and about without fear of slipping and sliding.  Although we have had snow-less Christmases before, I think this is the first that I recall where the grass is still mostly green, rather than brown.


 So, I am more than happy to make a Christmas card with a bit of snow in it, and some colourful snowmen in the DP.  The image is a rubber stamp from LOTV, coloured with water colours, with some flocking for the white trim on the hat, and liquid applique for the falling snow.

Some of the supplies used:
Crate Paper - Snow Day collection
Spellbinders die - Labels Twenty Two
Elizabeth Craft Designs die - Merry Christmas
Martha Stuart punches - Alpine Snowflake & Pine Branch
Gold peel-off border

Hoping all is well with you and yours, and your holiday preparations are nearly complete!  Thanks for stopping by.

    Well you may have had green grass for Christmas, but this card is still definitely filled with holiday cheer! It made me smile and I loved the patterned paper you used in the background. It pairs perfectly with your adorable central image and this is festive and bright and wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Wishing you all the best in 2016!
