I created this Christmas card a while ago using a cute snowman stamp from Inkadinkado. I think this image would make a great Clean & Simple one layer card as well. I also used one of my favourite Cover a Card stamps from Impression Obsession to create the background.
Inkadinkado - 99462 Snowman "Let it Snow"
Impression Obsession - CC035 Cover a Card Snowflakes
I started by using the large Snowflake CAC and embossed with white. I blended Aged Mahogany & Broken China Distress Inks over the background.
The snowman was embossed with silver. I stamped & embossed the hat twice and cut it out to pop it up. I blended broken china around the snowman, painted the hat with a red Tombow, added red stickles and holograph glitter.
I layered with red & a rich royal cardstock as shown (that was in my stash and I can't seem to find anywhere), added a rich blue bow & red half pearls. The centre red piece was embossed with the Snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder, hard to see in the photo.
Thanks for your visit and I hope we don't see snow until Christmas :)
Have a great day, Shirley

What a stunner Shirley, I love this wonderful Snowman, I've not seen this one before. And the CAC stamp is now on my wish list it's gorgeous, another stamp that would look lovely with just a sentiment added to it as well.

Fabulous card .... Love the snowflakes......

Love your snowman Looks like he is dancing around the town
I LOVE this Shirley! It is more CAS than you normally do, but more up my alley. I agree that this would be an adorable one-layer-card and, as such, (actually, even with the dimension you have given it) this is going straight into my inspiration binder!!
