    The navy additions are WONDERFUL. I forgot to buy that snowman when I made a big order last night 🙁 but I’m enjoying your card.

    This is a sweet snowman. The colors are lovely and definitely make for a great masculine card. However, I’d take one in a heartbeat.

    Your Mr Snowman card is so, so cute !! I always love the Vintage look so this card was right up my alley. The addition of the gathered twigs ink for grunge and the white paint for snow were the perfect additions along with the distressing of the card panel. I often forget that little trick but think it adds to much detail. I don’t want to know how many Snowmen dies I have in my stash but I had to order this new Joyful Snowman because he’s just so cute, I love his hat with the additional flower. Everything about your card is perfection, the splattered snow, the die cut snowflakes, the snow banks. It all came together perfectly and made for an amazing card. I look forward to following your new video Christmas Magic series.
