Snowman card


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.

I like that kraft hexagon a lot! The snowman's scarf is awesome too - subtle chevron, but so fun! : )
