A Frosty Hello

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing another winter holiday card!  I'm determined to keep making them all year long so there will be no rushing in November!

I made a cool background with Distress Inks using the ink smooshing technique and then applied Snow-Tex through a stencil to create a snowfall look.  I heat-embossed the snowman in white on a die-cut purple tag, added a die-cut snowflake, and stapled tulle at the top of the tag.  The sentiment is heat-embossed in white on a black scrap and then I cut the words apart before adhering them.  Along the bottom of the card is a die-cut snowflake border in white.

Clear stamps:  STAMPlorations Winter Chill (snowman and sentiment)
Ink:  Background (Distress Inks Blueprint Sketch, Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves), stamping (Versamark)
Stencil:  Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil
Dies:  MFT Stitched Traditional Tag Stax, Joycraft Ice Crystal Edge
Other:  Snow-Tex, Ranger white embossing powder, tulle, stapler
