Hello, everybody! I continue to play along over at
Beccy's Place in her
Month of Holiday Cards! It's an alphabet challenge, and there are only a couple days left. For
Day 28 - "Y", I chose Yuletide Greetings!
This sweet snowman is from
Beccy's Place Snowman set. I fussy-cut the precoloured image and adhered with foam tape. For the background, I used an embossing folder (free with magazine) and then sanded it to expose the embossed areas in white. I hand-cut a snowy landscape from white glitter cardstock to give the snowman a place to stand. I adhered a number of red snowflake sequins and some green tree sequins. I stamped the sentiment (Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Christmas) on a white scrap and adhered with foam tape.
Double Trouble Paper Crafting has a challenge to
Bring on the Glitz with a Snowman, and I've done two of the three prompts: Thing 1 - bling, glitz and/or glitter; and Thing 3 - Include a Snowman (I've already maxed out for Thing 2).

Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!
That's a great idea with the embossing folder and sanding it down. I was given paper that is specifically made to do that but I've forgotten about it until now. Lovely card.

The glitter card stock is gorgeous Kitty and works beautifully as a frosty base for the snowman. I love the way you've embossed the background and then used some sandpaper to emphasise the pattern. Fabulous sprinkling of snowflakes... love red ones!
