I had a sketch, I knew what image I wanted to use and I thought it would take me no time at all the get this card done. It's not like there was a lot of coloring to do. I could not have been more wrong. Did you ever have one of those days were every piece of paper you cut was wrong? I certainly did. First it was too small, then it was cut crooked. I used up an entire 12x12 piece of paper making this card because of all my mistakes. Anyhow, I finally finished this card. I don't really like the DP with the embossing, but it's stuck down now. I decided to still share it because not every project can turn out how we envision it.
If you missed the Sweet N Sassy blog hop, you still can see the wonderful creations from the DT starting on the Sweet N Sassy blog. I used the sketch from Janette's blog and the non-traditional Christmas colors challenge from Chrissy's blog.

So adorable Cheryl! I love snowmen too, and this just makes the sweetest card. :)
I have a hard time finding snowmen that I like, and this one is adorable. It makes me smile just looking at him. You did such a great job with this image. I really love this card! BTW, thanks very much for the nice things you said about my card during the High Hopes blog hop. It was so appreciated! Best, Curt
I know the frustration of cutting a 12X12 piece of paper not once but 2 or 3 times before getting it right. But the end result is fabulous. I know you are not happy with the embossing, but I think it looks fabulous. What a fun card! I love snowmen images too!
Another snowman addict here - I can't resist adding to my collection they are just so cute. Been there with the 12" by 12" paper too. You get down to the last chance and it's nerve wracking. I have some embossed snowflake vellum (so gorgeous I stroked it for years) and when I cut it it just all went wrong. I've saved the pieces (somewhere!) - heartbreaking.
I think your paper and embossing do work together. A lovely card but then it has a snowman on so I'm biased to start with.

Bah! Humbug! DT
Hi! This is fabulous Cheryl, love the image, papers and the tearing effect for the snow! Thanks for joining us a Cupcake this week! Shelly ;)
Hello Cheryl
Me too, I'm a sucker for a snowman.
I've been there with my design paper too. Your card is fantastic and your snowman so cute. The design paper is gorgeous, especially mattered with black. I'm an embossing aholic also. I love the tearing effect for snow.
Thank you so much for joining in our latest challange.
