Frosty the snowman

And there I was thinking that I had finished making Christmas cards!!!

This PB stamp is fab for those last minute makes ... minimal colouring!  I coloured him using my promarkers nad them distressed the edges of the image.  I kept the background really simple, just distressing the edges, embossing a section and then scoring a couple of section, a bit of gingham and some pearls.  The silvery glitter is extreme glitter acyrlic paint from Artifolk .. i love this stuff!!
