Frosted Snowman

I worked on these cards last night. I came up with the design last month, but only managed to make one card. Last night I finished these, but I think they may need a little more...something. Not sure what. Maybe a sentiment on the outside?

The snowman is from Stampin' Up! Snow Place stamp set, cut out with the Snow Friends framelits. I stamped the scarf tone on tone in wisteria wonder and used the framelits on that too. Then I cut out the top hat from black glitter paper using the framelits again. The snowman is also edged in diamond dust glitter and popped off the background, which features whisper white, soft sky (I think) and wisteria wonder. The strips are all embossed with the softly falling embossing folder. Everything is layered on basic grey before being mounted on the white card. (They are prescored cards and I'm not even sure the SU!) (shhhhh)

You can see that I used the same inspiration for both my holiday cards this year. (See the other one here.)

Great card! I wouldn't add anything; I like the minimalist look. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

What about some silver snowflake stickers around him? He has a nice expression on his face!

Aw, I love it! Very graceful but also a bit whimsical. And I'm a big fan of holiday cards that aren't the usual red/green or gold/silver color combo. Well done on this one!
