Brrr - it's not quite snow weather here, but after getting soaked in a torrential downpour on the way home from work I then got pelted in a sudden hail shower, so a snowman is not too far off the mark! And he helps me nearly achieve my January Christmas card quota, which is a bonus!
A2 base. I used glossy card and stamped the ODBD snowflakes with Versamark, then sponged with Chipped Sapphire. Edges are swiped with silver ink and embossed with silver EP. Sentiment is from MFT.
Penny Black snowman stamped on Bristol Board and embossed with clear EP. I coloured him with H2Os and then masked him to sponge in the background while it was still in the die. It's layered up on some very thick chipboard and another fleur de lis square cut from black underneath.

Sabrina, I feel for you. Almost the same thing happened to me yesterday. I was in the car for the rain, but when I got out the hail hit me. I was happy it was small stuff. I love your little happy snowman. I was happy to see beautiful snow yesterday - after the rain and hail - but am not so thrilled with 13 degrees today.

Beautiful background you created with the snowflakes and that PB snowman lives at my house, too, and he is one of my favorite snowman images! Love your card!

That bg is so pretty and goes wonderfully with your snowman..the fancy edging of the snowman square kind of goes with snowflakes. That silver edging gives it a magical touch!
