Thanks Snow Much

Hello, everybody!  Today I'm sharing another winter card but this time it's a thank-you card!

I started with the background, which I made using the ink-smooshing technique and Distress Inks.  It looked a bit plain so I added stencilled snowflakes.  I adhered a die-cut snowy landscape and then die-cut the panel with a stitched scalloped rectangle.  I coloured the snowman and kitty with markers, fussy-cut, and then adhered with foam tape.  I tied some twine at the top, with a tiny tag that says "hugs" and a metal snowflake charm.  At the bottom of the card, I stamped the sentiment. Finally I matted the die-cut panel on kraft cardstock.

Clear stamps: STAMPlorations Winter Chill (snowman and sentiment), STAMPlorations Purrfectly Pawsome (cat), A. Jillian Vance DieLuxe Tiny Tags (hugs word)
Ink: Background (Distress Inks Broken China, Tumbled Glass), stencilling (Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise), stamping (Lawn Fawn Jet Black, Versafine Onyx Black)

Stencil:  Hot Off the Press Snowfall (I was unable to find a link so it might be retired)

Dies: Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Nested Rectangles, Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders, A. Jillian Vance DieLuxe Tiny Tags 

Other:  American Crafts twine, snowflake charm
