Here is my first card for the Twisted Sister Challenge....a Christmas card with blue and ribbon. I love this snowman, he was my first choice as soon as I knew what we were working with. The other colour I used was purple, which I am sure you have noticed by now....I chalked the snowman lightly and used Kindy Glitz for the wings.
I have used the fabulous testured paper that lovely Sistah Pat sent me in a RAK, it is great stuff and looks very much like snow IRL, I chose the DP as the blue bubbles help give the impression of movement. I don't have many Christmas sentiments so drew the circle sentiment by hand....was good in theory, not so sure how is looks IRL...maybe a bit more practice needed.
I layered 2 ribbons and threaded them through a buckle thingy (can't think of what they are called!) and hung the silver heart, plus a tag cut from another stamp. I hope this meets the standard, I am excited to be part of this challenge....
Thanks for looking....I appreciate you taking the time...and a scary thought...here in Ausralia, it is only 5 sleeps until Christmas - Happy Christmas to you!!!

You have talent. I can't believe you drew that round sentiment. That is super. I just love the way it looks here. You have great handwriting. The ribbon is perfect for this cute snowman. The paper does look like snow. We have 6 sleeps til Christmas Eve. I can't wait. Have a good one.

Wow! This is wonderful. I can't believe you could draw that round sentiment! I recognized that paper right away; it's gorgeous and looks snowy. Your white brads look like incoming snowballs too! Great details too!
