The challenge today is called favourite tools... At first I was going to say my big shot because it seems like I use die cuts all the time, BUT after looking in my gallery, I have to say my scissors because I do a lot of fussy cutting... I didn't realize I did that much... so, for this card, I stamped the image, watercoloured it and then FUSSY cut it lol...placed them on foam tape to add to card... before doing that, I stamped sentiment with versamark and using white embossing powder and heat gun, I embossed it directly onto dp...added snowflake and sequin in corner...
Thanks for taking a peek... Hope you like it....

This is adorable! I'm loving all the snow on this (easy to say when the temp is 75-80). And I like to fussy cut, too...it brings attention to an image especially when it's popped up. Really cute Christmas card!

Darling Christmas card!!! Looks like someone is going to be prepared for this Christmas! I have to say I love the big shots too, but scissors are another must have as well, and for fussy cutting definitely!
Beautiful job!!
Hugs

Wow, look at that Blizzard going on! Lol! You will never see anything like this in your neck of the woods, Alice, but it sure is pretty! Such an adorable snow family; I wish mine were this cute! Yes, you certainly do fussy cut quite a lot, and you always do it so well~

Personally, I've NEVER liked the term "fussy cutting" since I think of the dictionary definition of "fussy" being unnecessary/frivolous additions. When YOU do "intricate cutting" as beautifully as you do....it's necessary and adds so much to your card.

I love it that you chose your scissors as your favourite tool! Great to pick something so basic but so important. Love your snowpeople - great fussy cutting.
