I have been all inspired by Erika's red, kraft and white Christmas cards - loving the look of them, so I thought I would have a play with the colour combination.
I matted up kraft and red cardstock, and added a kraft octagonal die cut. The snowman is a Tim Holtz die, and I covered it with picket fence distress stain and the used my edgibility die to cut the chrevon/ricrac style scarf. I added some red twine and tied the strands together with a bow, before cutting several Memory box snowflake corners and postioning them behind the octagon. The scarf is attached with a teeny brad, and I added a black pearl for his eye.
Quite liking it - needs some work on it, but i do like the colour combo.
