whoo hoo...another brand new Christmas stamp finally inked up after sitting on a shelf forevah! :(
Took on the Christmas Card Challenges of no patterned papers ...so I made my own with the large polka dot embossing folder and the Dictionary background stamped in Gumball Green .... coloured and fussy cut the two images the snowman and the trio of gifts...used up some of my red glimmer papers...Voila...another Christmas card to add to my stash!
The colours are off on my photo..sorry about that..and it's difficult to take a decent picture to showcase the red glimmer paper.. :(
**hmmm...thinking maybe we were not to have used any pattern papers whatsoever but I made my own..thinking that doesn't count as pattern paper...oh well...I'll find out soon enough if my card makes the cut! ;)
Deets: All Stampin Up except for the WhipperSnapper snowman image.
EDIT: I made the top 3 pick of the Christmas Card Challenge..Great way to start the week!
Thanks for dropping by.

Such an adorable Christmas card. Love the snowman. The background looks great.
Thanks so much Carol. The snowman is my other obsession with Whipper Snapper stamps...shhhhh.... and I spotted that background while blog surfing and it's one of my fave dry embossing and stamping combos! :)
