Snowmen and Snowflakes

Today to start off the New Year we have a bleak looking day - considering it is the middle of summer it is definitely not usual weather for this time of the year.

I have made a card containing snowmen and snowflakes.  Now, both the challenges at QKR Stampede and Eureka Stamps are for Snowmen or Snowflakes but several of the DT cards had both and I didn't notice the "or" until I went to upload so I hope it is okay to have both!

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

Eureka Stamps - Snowmen or Snowflakes

I have used a Christmas paper from MME for the background.  I haven't used anything from this particular paper pad for quite a while so it was nice to delve back into it!  The image is from QKR Stampede and is coloured with copic markers.  I added some Stickles under the snowmen to ground them and also to the hat of the centre snowman.  The snowflakes have been cut from gold card using a snowflake hand punch - which I had forgotten I had!  I embellished the centres of the snowflakes with pearls from Rosie's Studio.  Across the centre of the card is a strip of gold mesh ribbon.  Matting is red cardstock.
