I seem to be in a Snowman Christmas Card mood lately. Made this Clean & Simple CAS Christmas card using Tim Holtz Snowman embossing folder. Used a sketch which you can see below. Used Kraft cardstock for base, Martha Stewart Holidays designer paper that I have had for a long time and white cardstock. I liked how the MS Holidays Designer Paper on the right complemented the Kraft cardstock and had snowflakes on it like the paper on the left. Used a Scrappy Moms Dancing in Circles 2 sentiment. Used a Stampin' Up circle punch to make sentiment tag. Used Spellbinder dies for the pennants. Inked the edges of the sentiment tag & pennants.
Card can be for male or female.
Supplies List
ink: Memento Lady Bug
paper: cardstock - Martha Stewart Holidays Designer Paper, Kraft. white
Spellbinder: Shape Nested Pennants
stamp: Scrappy Moms Dancing in Circles 2 - sentiment
Stampin' Up: punch - 1 3/8" circle
Tim Holtz: embossing - Snowman embossing folder

Great card, I love how you've tied together your composition by echoomg the rich red of the cardinals with the colour of your rosette. Thanks for joining us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThose red cardinals on white birch are perfect for the snowman and snowflakes. In winter when I look out that is just what I see.
