I combined this weeks colour challenge and Jacksonbell's Tuesday Inkadinkado sketch challenge #2 found here: http://stampact.typepad.com/my_weblo...contest-2.html
Snowman image stamped on watercolour paper with stazon jet black and coloured with prismacolor pencil crayons and gamsol. Cut out with ovals with nestabilites. On the artichoke panel I stamped the snowflakes using versamark ink and embossed with stardust embossing powder. Cut out the three striped panels, matted with red. stitched around all edges. added the snowflake brads, red brads and ribbon. Added the Sentiment.

Oh I love this one! I love snowmen, and this one is great! Love the dp, the sparkle, and the sentiment that just is shaped around the top of the oval! Great card!

I really like how you added the snowflakes. That makes such a wonderful winter card. This inky stamp is great. I have not seen him before. Great coloring and really nice layout. TFS
