Absolutely gorgeous Rita! I love your colour choices and that bow is so beautiful. The dsp and embossing look wonderful together too.
ReplyDeleteRita this card is too too cute! I love the color combo, feels warm and cozy. I really like the embossed strip that grounds the whole theme.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE snowmen of any type... I did not buy this set because I kept saying... YOU HAVE ENOUGH SNOWMEN! but that little birdie on the snowball is stealing my heart! Hugs
OMGoodness, how cute. I would never have thought to use the embossing folder and cut a strip from it like that! I now have a new idea for my next stamp camp!
ReplyDeleteHi Rita! The embossed strip behind the snowman is such a cute touch! I love this guy too. It IS "snow much fun". Love the way you placed the sentiment on the decorative label die too.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are rich and wonderful! Your snowman looks great against such a fab setting! And how clever are you to emboss snowflakes on the narrow strip!?! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis could not be any cuter! Love your coloring. Blessings, Diane
