Carols Challenge....no patterned papers

The first challenge for our Christmas card club in 2013.....seems very apt as we had over 6 inches of snow on Friday night and each garden seems to have a snowman in it!
thank you Carol I just loved this challenge...out came all my embossing folders and die cuts!




this is my newest snowman from stamp addicts (I think) I have thrown away the packaging..... Swiss dots embossed background and snowflake embossing folder,martha stewart snowflake dies....memory box frostyville border die (just treated myself to the matching wreath die.....)coloured with copics...nose,buttons,hat and candy cane all glossed with cosmic shimmer clear varnish lacquer...creative expression sentiment embossed with cosmic shimmer steel blue aurora embossing powder...blue miri and a bit of bling in the snowflake..and pinflair Snow Dust...
looking forward to going round and seeing all your lovely cards.....

A gorgeous xmas card and luv that snowman, i not sure why the colours run you could have a look at your printer setting maybe change it to draft or quick print then its not as much ink or use the heat gun just to set the ink before applying the lacquer, hope this helps.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
