SNOWMAN CARD

I am actually quite happy how this turned out - based on a request to make a snowman - this is my interpretation!!

Even though we have a very hot Christmas here in Australia, I still associate snowman with Christmas time and plus they are very cute to include on your cards etc.

I thought I would try a different colour combo - not quite navy, rose red and baja breeze (our current In-colour).

I used the ornament punch for the face - which I know is not currently available in Australia. I am lucky enough to have some good friends overseas. You could use a circle punch instead. I was just playing around with the punches and I saw how versatile this punch could be as faces - check out these two blogs to see more inspiration using this punch -here and here. These girls are very talented!!!

PUNCHES: 1 1/4" Square; ornament; heart to heart; crop-a-dile; 3/4" circle; word window; scallop edge

STAMPS: hostess level 1 set best yet

PAPER: baja breeze; not quite navy; whisper white; rose red, basic black; dsp ski slope(current mini catalogue)

Thanks SO much for sharing this snowman card! I was looking for one more (hopefully snowman) card to complete my holiday punch card class - and this snowman will be wonderful - do you mind if I CASE? It probably won't be a round card, but just the snowman part!
