This card is gonna be for my BIL...now I know the sentiment medallion is usually used for girls and the like, and of course not a snowman, but believe me, this fits. First of all, his birthday is Dec. 22. Secondly, I made the mistake of commenting on an outfit of his. He had a black suit on, with a crisp white shirt and a very stylish tie...all very GQ....but the tie was black and white. I asked him if he was going for the *generic* look....all in friendly banter, that's how our relationship works...boy, did I catch it. Now that was 20 years ago, and to this day, he either asks me if I approve of his outfit, or if I comment favorably, I still get razzed on occasion. Thus, the stylin' snowman! Oh, he's a dairy farmer too. That's why I used this special guy.
The image is stamped on Kraft cs and colored with pastels. I know....pastels don't sound very masculine...I won't tell him, if you won't!

That is one gorgeous...oh, I mean 'handsome' snowman!! I am going to have to try that technique (using pastels on kraft c.s)...I absolutely love the look! The 'shading' around the snowman is so perfect...the distressed edges (and then sponged...man you know how to antique a card)!! I love the striped Dp..and your corner treatments! This is such a great card! If you BIL has that good of taste is clothes, then he is sure to treasure this!
