Cozy Christmas

I had this really old stamped image of an adorable snowman in my stash (we're talking at least 10 years old) and decided to turn him into a card. I also pulled out a scrap of vellum and embossed it with a snowflake design by Parklane. Used my Cropadile to attach a red eyelet (told you I'm using lots of really old stash), and threaded bakers twine through the eyelet instead of using ribbon. The stamped sentiment is from Flora and Fauna. The tag shape was cut with the old Coluzzle cutting system that a friend passed on down to me...I use everything!
Pixie's Snippets challenge 384. Everything on this card was made from snippets. The sentiment was stamped on an off-cut that was only 1 inch wide!

    The embossed snowflakes on the vellum look great, and such a cute snowman. Wonderful wine card! Thank you for joining our challenge at Double Trouble!

    That should say winter card, not wine!

    The vellum really accents the embossing against the blue background... fun and pretty card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.

    Great use of snippets Karen! I love the embossed vellum idea as well. I wonder if nyone's thought of running a challenge the opposite of Darnell's NBUS one - where folk use really old stash. Hmmmm.

    Hugs
