The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope
Materials used:

- Snippets of card in white and the textured blue - for my image panel
- Snippet of white grosgrain ribbon
- Tim Holtz snowman image stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
- MSE sentiment (M118 Holiday greetings) stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
- Distress Ink (salty ocean) applied through my Dylusions snowflake stencil and then also applied to the background, I didn't wait till my flakes dried as I wanted a softer edge to the snowflakes - once the panel HAD dried though, I gave it a quick application of Krylon matte fixative - to protect the water based inks

I love your snowman with the pretty snowflakes in the background in that bright blue Kathy which really pops, and your ATCoin with the quirky dog makes me smile and great colours too with your usual interesting doodled border. Sorry to see some challenges are closing their doors, and I have to say these are ones which I have never come across before, but they do seem to be allied so obviously if their are reasons why they can't run them anymore they are having to shut them all at once which is such a shame. x
Two wonderful creations, love how you decorated the envelope to match the card.
Thank you so much for joining in at my Crafty Wednesday challenge this month, and hope to see you playing along again soon!

Your snowman card is so lovely! Great take on my card.
I am a birdie addict, but snowmen come in a VERY close 2nd. LOL
Your ATC coin is darling! Been seeing these quite a bit lately

I love your snowy card Kathy and that you have taken the trouble to decorate the inside and the envelope too. Someone is going to be so pleased when the envelope lands on their mat!
Thanks for sharing with us at ABC Christmas Challenges.
