I have a card to share with you today that is a combination of 2 gifts I received. My background panel was a piece of really shimmery white cs that my sweet friend Leslie sent to protect the Christmas card she mailed me and I embossed it and used it for my card. The 2nd gift I received was the darling little Sweet Nordic Snowman die that my friend Jeanne sent me in her Christmas card. I combined the two and came up with this...
Isn't he just the cutest little snowman with his coat, scarf & hat?! The die for this Sweet Nordic Snowman (Poppystamps) is all one piece, so I cut it from white and then used my Copics to color in the hat, coat & scarf (B91, B93, B95). I did add glitter to the pompom on his hat and on the pompoms at the ends of his hat to add a little more sparkle. The background that I embossed (SSS's Snowflake Visions) is so shimmery too, so lots of sparkle going on with this card!
I used PB's posted stamp and die to place over my embossed background, and then used a small piece of PTI's Bitty Big Blueberry Sky DSP in the center of the postage die cut. I added the little snowman to the dsp with foam tape for some dimension, and then added the 2 strips of cs for my sentiment (SSS's Tiny Words Christmas). I finished with a few Iridescent Clear Drops from PFS.
I followed the sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge and will be adding this to their gallery, along with also the Double D Challenge where they are looking for Santa and/or Snowman on our cards.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

This is so cute, I could easily own all of Poppystamps Nordic line if I were rich LOL, but do have a few, love him in the blue and I too used a shimmery paper sent from Leslie on one of my projects, it seems like the sketch was made just for you and your Nordic guy!!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D!

OH, what fun! I could not love him more - and should tell you that Tom wears just such a hat to shovel our snowflakes! Hey, maybe we could trade hats one day?
I adore how you have used our FMS sketch to play with your gifts, Marcia! I'm so happy that you've become 'a regular' and such a good friend to FMS - see you in the New Year, too? x

Darling, darling, darling! I love this sweet gentleman in his built-for-cold attire. I recognized the sketch right away too -- especially since I saw a Santa suit (in my head) the first time I saw it. Great card, Marcia, and have a great Christmas, even if you did already celebrate.
Adorable card...love all the Nordic things. Merry Christmas to you.
Sweet snowman and sweet friends to send you lovely gifts. I really love all the blue. A sweet, sweet card. We also did our family get together yesterday as some will be traveling. Also will have a low key Christmas day. Merry Christmas and a very Happy & Healthy New Year to you and yours.
What a sweet card. I love the Nordic look, you have used that die set perfectly. Lots of fabulous work here, it’s obvious you have a real eye for color and design, which is no surprise. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon!

Such a sweet little snowman, Marcia! You have used your gift well to make an adorable Christmas card!
I love what you've done with this sweet little snowman! This is a darling card, Marcia!
I love your adorable little snowman and glad to see he's keeping toasty warm in his handsome knit ensemble! You sure aced the sketch, and I must say that shimmery paper looks lovely all snowflakey. You captured the shimmer beautifully in your photo. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Double D. Merry Christmas, Marcia!
Such a sweet take on the sketch, Marcia! I love the bit of gingham on your background panel and all that gorgeous embossed snowflakes! Thanks for joining us a Freshly Made Sketches--we love it when you do! ;)
This is precious indeed! I love the shimmery snowflake background for this dashing cool dude.
What perfect layers for this adorable card! I need to remember to emboss shimmery paper!
He is such a cute little guy! I love how you've tucked him into the sketch. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
