Merry Snowman

I'm quite pleased with myself in that I have made quite a few Christmas cards so far.  They are so much more enjoyable to make when there isn't the 'being on the last minute pressure' that there usually is for me when I'm making them.   I must say that the challenges are a big help for me as they give me a starting point.  For this card I followed the sketch over at Sweet Stop Sketches with a spin of using a snowman:

A5 card blank

Gold linen card used for matting. 

Backing papers came free with Quick Cards magazine.

Snowman stamp is from Inkadinkado, stamped in versamark onto adorable scorable card and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.  The image is sat on a Spellbinders fleur de lis square die.

The ribbon was wrapped around some pyjamas!

The sentiment was stamped in gold ink and heat embossed using gold detail embossing powder.

My card is also for the following challenges:
