This is my card for CC921. Barbara is our hostess and she chose bermuda bay, melon mambo & granny apple green for her color trio. Dessert option this week is a snowman. And if you take the dessert option you can add pumpkin pie. A snowman without a carrot colored nose just wouldn't do!
I started my card by stenciling snowflakes on the designer paper. It's from the "oh so ombre" collection by Stampin' Up. I used an icicle ep and then the snowflakes turned clear. In hindsight, I should have used white ep to make them standout. I did use clear wink of stella for a bit of sparkle.
The snowmen are from the Snowman Friends die from CottageCutz. Their scarves & hat are cut in the challenge colors.
I cut the "tis the season" phrase in melon mambo. Used some dazzling diamonds glitter on the snowbank to complete my card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. these are some great colors for snowmen and a non-traditional Christmas card.

Mary, those Cottage Cutz snowpeople have such personality! I think it's the smiles--something my snowmen lack, darn it! This is such a cute grouping. I like the subtle snow falling in the background and the cute MM greeting! Adorable!

I think you really make these snowman and colors sing, Mary! That ombre DSP couldn't be better in the background. I just love the way it plays with the snowmen.

Mary your ombre background is perfect for your trio of snowmen! I like the snowflakes like you've created them, they are subtle and pretty! This is such a sweet design, I love it! TFS
