Another interesting site for inspiration! I chose who's that rug, but used birds instead of a dog.
All images, glitter, adhesives and sparkle soft (like flower soft w/ glitter) by Sparkle N Sprinkle. I started by black embossing the snowman w/ birdhouses onto white. I knew I wanted a window, so I determined which part would be out of the box (or inside the box in this case) and cut around it. I used a Spellbinders long rectangle to cut the rest of the window. The snowman image was colored w/ markers and a water brush then I used a glue pen to sprinkle him w/ glitter. I used the sparkle soft at the base for the snow mounds. The sentiment was also black embossed then the entire panel was attached to a slightly larger evergreen panel.
For the Christmas tree insert (wrapping paper sprayed w/ adhesive then attached to a piece of white c/s), I cut a rectangle piece and attached it behind the snowman inside my window. I added a little glitter to the tree ornaments and the sparkle soft to the snow. Finished card is 5.5 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Julie, long time no see. I jus happened to catch your holiday card upload. AMAZING work, as always. I love your snowman, sparkle and trees. What a wonderful card anyone would love to receive. I've just been making postage friendly cards as of late and haven't had much time for detailed cards, but I'm truly enjoying yours!! TFS!
