I had a lot of fun making this card. I used George and Basic Shapes and welded the circles together with my Gypsy. The card base is cut at 6x6. Next I embossed the front of my card using the Sizzix snow flake embossing folder, then lightly inked the edges and the raised images with Stampabilities Ink-Baby Blue.
I then used Winter Frolic to cut my snowman at 3.5" and the layers. After applying all the layers I used the Simple Sallies face from Peachy Keen and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Vintage Photo. I then pop dotted onto my card.
The tag is from My Creative Time-Build a Banner set. The sentiment is from Studio G. Gotta love those $1.00 stamps!! I also pop dotted the tag.
The snow flakes are actually seguins and I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the centers.
I used three different types of ribbon or twine from my stash.
