I created this card for my Great Nephew for Christmas. He is 1 year and 9 mos. old, and we don't get to see him very often because they live in So. Carolina. Hence the title of the card. They never see snow where they live, so when I saw this adorable snow man, I had to get him. I've had him for some time now. He was a free digi stamp from Cuddly Buddly Crafts.
I thought this week's sketch challenge (SC307) was PERFECT for the layout, and then I just discovered the Challenges over on "Mark's Finest Papers". Where have I been?! The challenge this week there is incorporating snow flakes. Again, PERFECT for this card. You can see both of these challenge forums here:
Under each panel I put gold glitter paper to make the card much more festive. I used snow flake embossing folder for the white panel, and colored the snowman with Copic markers. I added clear glitter flakes on the snow flakes around the snowman, but I don't know if you can tell that on the upload.
Well that is it. Sure appreciate you stopping by, and I always appreciate your comments.
