It's funny. I love Summer so much more than Winter but when it comes to making a scene on a card, I seem to do better with the wintery ones. . .hmmm? Go figure. . .
I wanted to see what it would look like to use the Holly stamp along with this cute snowman. Both are from Hero Arts and were two of my favorites from last year. I had fun creating this one!
I had this lovely snowflake paper, which was in my winnings from Vanessa's blog candy giveaway, so I started with that. The holly was clear embossed onto the light blue paper. I then used VersaMark, only on the snowflakes of the snowman stamp and whited embossed them, directly over the already embossed holly. (Hope that makes sense.) I stamped the snowman on a separate piece of paper, colored and cut him out, adding him to the scene. I used Cotton Candy Stickles on the hat, scarf, buttons and mittens. On the top edge of the torn paper, (snow) I added a bit of Clear Rock Candy, Distress Stickles.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Thanks for coming by! :)

LOVE this color scheme for Christmas/winter, Barb! A wonderful idea to put 2 of your favorites together for this card!
Such a happy little snowman! Love your winter scene; I'm afraid it will be here all too soon. I'd rather stamp snowflakes than shovel them!
what an adorable card....and that holly makes for a great background!
Cute card, Barb. I'm not very handy with scenes of any kind (well dh might argue that one!) lol! I love your white embossed snowflakes and the snowman is adorable:)
Oh Oh Oh- I love this one! The torn paper for the snow and the embossing of the holly are fantastic! The perfect pp and fun colors too :)
Our a/c went out last night...motor died...so aside from being the hottest, driest summer outside in Houston history, now the inside of my house feels kinda the same way! Looking at your sweet cold scene is refreshing! LOL
Love it! I love that snowman! Beautiful scene!
You are too funny, Barb! It took me several days to change my blog look! Good luck with that! I do, however, adore your card. Such a sweet wintery look and a sweet happy snowman! Beautiful embossed background!
Barb,you are making me feel a little cooler as I sit here in Houston--102-- Your embossed holly looks beautiful in blue. Everything about your card is so pretty. I love the snowman dressed in pink and blue and Stickles ,too !
So cute! I love snowmen so I love this card. I can't wait to start making holiday cards.
Love the new header Barb.
Your colour hues are perfect for the wintry scene, the cool blue and brilliant white.
Your design is fabulous and sends the message of a cold festive(pink)Christmas.
