Brrr... cool card!

I'm carrying on with my mission to build up my stash of Christmas cards nice and early this year, and it's actually quite nice working with snowy scenes and cool colours during the hot weather! Here's a card for the sketch challenge at Moving Along with the Times and the Christmas in July theme at Stamp Something...This is the sketch and there's an optional colour scheme of Ice Blue and White which is perfect for a Christmas card. I covered the whole front of my base card with Let It Snow text paper, then added a strip of pale blue pearlescent card with some snowflake print ribbon on top. I stamped the snowman image in icy blue and inked the edges of the panel before layering it onto a Nesties shape and adding some gems. The snowflake is die cut and embossed, the swirls are die cut, and the 'Brrr' panel is from an embossing folder, highlighted with glitter pen.

Stamp: snowman by Habico

Paper: blue pearl card by Paper Mill, Let it Snow paper by Hot off the Press
