I have never tried bleaching before, but I thought this stamp would be perfect for it! I bleached out the snowman and the flakes, then I used my watercolor crayons to color him in whiter (he was kinda yellow, and I didn't think a yellow snowman was such a good idea ).

This is really cute! I love the way you did the snowman! The only thing I think it needs is some RIBBON! Maybe on the red layer or just at the top of that layer, some caramel gingham??

Honesty: Love the swirls and snowflakes. I love tearing -- mabye you could continue the tearing you started on the bottom layer and tear the edges of the other layers?

BH Thread - I love the patterns, but it is almost too busy right next to each other. Can you put the swirlly design on the brown and leave the dark purple plain (or DTP the edges). Cute layout and snowman!

I REALLY like these colors! Honesty: Maybe a bow or a small sentiment on the left side of the burgundy strip? It just needs a tiny bit of something. But it's an adorable card!

Brutally Honest.... This card is very cute as is, but maybe you could move the snowman block done a little of turn it at an angle and put some ribbon through the top sort of making him into a tag. All this isn't really necessary - he is great!
