Christmas Card #2

Good Afternoon everyone, hope you've had a lovely day.  I was determined to try and kick my mojo into gear today so went hunting around the challenge blogs for inspiration.   Last year I made a Christmas card every week but have slipped this year.

Here's the result.

I've used this cute Snowy stamp from the Penny Black Jolly Friends Set

Coloured with Promarkers

Snowman embossing folder

Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch

Glamour Dust

Gems and ribbon from stash.

Oops just realised I meant to add some of my fake snow for Snowy to stand on.  Please imagine its there and I'll go and add it now.
