What a challenge this week, issued by Sue (Irishgreensue). Well, this isn't a card, because it can't close!!! Agh...my last scrap of acetate, and me with no math skills! Yikes...so, I am calling this a table top decoration. There. After scoring (without measuring...) I used SU's Snowflake Spot in White Stazon and attached to the bg, suspending this Penny Black Snowman.
Everyone is welcome to 'play cards' with the Twisted Sisters, and if you join us, please add TSC1112 to your key words so we can see your work too!!
Sue's Rulz:
A - This MIGHT be a surprise, but the card is to be mainly GREEN!!
B - Use some kind of a BORDER on a GREEN card
C - Make your card with an OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOLD - not just a standard open from the right side or bottom - AND the card is to be GREEN, with a BORDER somewhere on the card!
And our lil Challenge Master this week on the Bus is also Queen for the Day!
Thanks for looking!

Oh me! Oh my! I love this beauty! Fantastic punched edge (of course I'd notice that!) And white snowflakes on acetate - love it! And a joyfully happy little snowman. How do snowmen always seem so happy when they must be freezing to bits and facing an uncertain future?!? Hmmm, bet they have faith! Have a great day.

OH MY GOSH!! Frosty's gone GREEN - and he's dancing in a whirlwind of snowflakes that are DANCING around HIM!!
Tell me, - how could I NOT love this !! I still can't stop laughing over the "non-measured" elements coming together so perfectly - CLOSE-ABLE or not - this is the PERFECT Tabletop Decoration"!!! Watch out now, the crowds are going to be clamoring for more of this DE-LISH llittle snowman!
Don't think I didn't catch the punched borders and the pine branches either.
Call the manufacturer for more "scraps of acetate" - we have 42,000 of these babies on Back Order - better get busy Pat!!
I totally forgive you for not being able to close your 'card' !
This one has the 'bus' rockin', we are laughing so hard - get out the tissues again!
Pat, thanks so much for all the happiness and joy your
craziness brings to our lives - you truly are the Duchess of Nut! Bless your heart!! LYMI, Sis!

This is really adorable. I just love the acetate with the snowflakes on it. You are enticing me to join the challenge!!! I can relate to the "no math" skills. My goodness I used to sew 24/7 for 20 years and couldn't do the math on yardage...lol Not until, of course, I married an engineer!!! I do have to refer to him occasional for card crafting. I love the white border punch and that background snowman paper. Beautiful job on your table decoration......

Wow, this is very cool, Pat. It reminds me a bit of a musical box with the image behind the acetate. Anyway, this is so lovely - as well as all the details!
