The days are short and my time is getting shorter and shorter to get everything done before the Christmas Holiday arrives. I was in need of a few more quick and easy, and mail friendly, Christmas Cards so I created this one. Looking at the cute little snowman makes me smile. In need of some smiles after the heartbreaking news from Connecticut...those children were the age of my youngest boy.
He comes from the Christmas Cheer Stamp Set from The Craft's Meow. What I did was cut a patterned paper panel to size (From Echo Park's Winter Wishes) and mounted that to a bright pink card base, after rounding the corners of each. I stamped the sentiment and the snowman. The snowman was also stamped onto some plain white card stock, and before stamping I removed any ink on the buttons. He was then fussy cut and mounted to the card, and I finished him with bright pink button bling.

Hi Karen,
What a great card! I love how you curved the bling on his belly! How have I been stamping for over 10 years and never thought of wiping the ink off of a part of the image? I just had one of those "duh" moments. Thanks for the tip! Hugs!!

Love the bright pink and the gray! Really makes a modern statement which is so fun!
I love how you worked in the bright pink! I must say, I struggle with that color if I'm not making a card for a little girl. Nice work!
