Merry Christmas

Hello crafters!  I had a request for this one so here it is!  I started by taping the Snowflake Flurry mask to a piece of coconut white card.  I used the Silver Chrome Ultra Sparkle Texture paste through the mask, then set it aside to dry thoroughly.  I used the smaller circle from the Snowfall Background to cut an aperture in the lower corner.  I added mounting foam to raise it to create some space.  I cut a backing piece and embossed it with the Falling Snow embossing folder and attached it to the back.  Next I cut the snowman from the Build A Snowman die set.  I added his eyes with a pencil and cheeks with a small smoothie and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.  I added a hat cut out of aqua card and a black band which I nipped from a hat cut from black card.  I added a small holly sprig and a Berry Sparkle PVA got as the berry.  I used used a blue pencil to add highlights to the snowman.   I cut a black bow tie and aqua buttons and a carrot nose.  I added two arms and the sign cut out of tan card.  I stamped a small Merry Christmas in black on the sign.  I trimmed the bottom of the snowman and sign, then tucked them into the aperture with foam pieces.  I used both of the circle dies from the Snowfall Background and made a thin frame out of silver mirror card which I added around the aperture.  White and silver mirror card mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  7" in size.  All for now, Sue x
