I made another CAS Christmas card for my stash. Now I know it doesn't snow where I live at Christmas-time - but I just LOVE snowmen and snowflakes. And I just LOVE this Penny Black stamp - the snowman looks so joyous and I smile everytime I look at him. I am sure he is saying: "Yippeeeeee!"
I did actually colour him a little and around his outline with a light blue and grey Derwent Coloursoft pencil plus OMS, but it doesn't show up all that much in the photo - but hope you can see it a little. I added some orange pencil to his nose. I added some Polar White FlowerSoft with Aleen's tacky glue along the bottom and dots of FlowerSoft on the snowflakes surrounding him.
The embossing folder is one of the folders from the Cuttlebug Winter Wonderland set. The blue snowflakes are the leftover punchies from using my Martha Stewart Snow Flurry edge punch. I added blue rhinestones to the centres and popped all these snowflakes up on 2mm mounts (dimensionals).
The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. I diecut a white snowflake using my Snowflake #2 die and added a blue rhinestone to the centre, then added some Frosted Lace Stickles and glued it to the bow centre.

What a beautiful card. I can see the colouring around the outline of the snowman and it looks great. I also love the embossing folder that you used. CAS cards are some of my favourites.
