...they are awesome for the upcoming Christmas season!

Ok so for my card today I used this weeks sketch from
and came up with this....
Both the adorable snowman and the snowflakes I used for the border are from the new set.
For the border I used versarmark, CI Paints
 clear embossing powder, Resplendence Angel Dust glitter and my heat gun 
for the shimmer and sparkle that the picture does not do justice in showing
I tried to get a close-up...hopefully you can see how cool this looks

For the snowman I stamped him, fussy cut him out and stamped him again on pattern paper so I could paper piece his scarf. He is just too cute...don't you think???
