Peace and Joy... and Snow (2 Cute Ink image)

Hello, everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made with an adorable freebie from the 2 Cute Ink facebook group so you know I had to play along in their fun challenge!  Here's the little cutie, which I coloured with my Prismacolor pencils, fussy-cut, and popped up with 3D dots.

I affixed a red gem to the top of his hat and a pompom for his snowball.  I added Icicle Stickles to his snowball but it's hard to see in the photo. The sentiment is a wood-mounted stamp from Plaid and I heat-embossed it in white.  I hand-cut the banner, tied some twine, and added a snowflake charm. The banner is also popped up with 3D dots.  I thought it would be fun to add another little sentiment so I used alphabet stickers and a tiny wood-mounted ampersand stamp.  "Peace and Joy... and Snow" was perfect since he's getting ready to throw the snowball - but not at the bunnies LOL!  

I also wanted to play along in Colette's Cosmic Colours Challenge #8 (see colours below) and I thought my Lawn Fawn Snow Day papers were a good match!

And you know I can't miss a chance to link up with Diana in DL.ART's Second Annual Elf Antics Linky Party so here's Eli, my little elf, trying to hide behind the card. We can still see you, Eli!
