It's Christmas! The WWW Man is already packing his bags for Loveland, off to visit his cousin, and he is bringing this finely crafted rusty snowflake, a treasure sent to him from Mt. Forest, Ontario. (Thanks Michele!)
This is for the Twisted Sister challenge, issued by Kathy (101Airborne) to make a Christmas card without the traditional red/green colors, use an embossing folder, a die or punch and at least 3 layers (not counting the card front) and at least one embellishment. The MAN was stamped on DP and colored with copics, and the snow in the bg has dazzling diamonds.
If you'd like to join this twisted challenge, add TSC0805 to your key words so we can see your creativity! Thanks for looking.
Pat this is gorgeous. You come up with so many ways to use this stamp. That ef you used is pretty and I like the colors. The little snowflake is a nice touch.

Hubba-hubba!! What an awesome Christmas gift - beautiful card and the image is framed wonderfully - the EF is so pretty!! Aced this challenge with The Man! If you had just made the card a tad bit bigger - you could have squeezed Sam in there too!!!

Wow, love that card. The background reminds of leather. How fitting for cowboy. What a fine Cowboy Christmas this will be. Your work always looks so nice.

Pat, your cards are just fantastic! You really do have an amazing flair for using the MAN in every manner of creative success! I just love seeing your many versions. Someone even was selling WWW for $175. Way too much for me, but you make really make it worth every penny and more!
Your idea for the embossing folder using two colors of cardstock looks great, too. Thanks so much for sharing!
