Hi everyone. It's the start of this month's CAS Christmas challenge, which is hosted by the lovely Hideko (Papercraft Boutique).
I had a lot of fun making this card. Snowmen are so cute!! I stamped the snowman and heart, Love in My Heart - Unity (a gift from a dear friend) in black ink and heat embossed in clear. Then fussy cut before watercolouring. I added light blue ink to the body to give it some dimension and have it stand out from the background.
For the background, I used white embossing paste through a stencil (Snowflakes - Paper Artsy). Then I tore a piece of white card stock to create snow at the bottom of the card. This gives me a place to stamp my sentiment (Merry Up! - Penny Black) and also tuck the bottom of the snowman in-behind. The snowman and heart are popped up for added dimension.

To finish I just added some white dots to his scarf, as well as wink'd and glazed the heart.
We are so happy to have Steph (My Paper Corner) as our Guest Designer this month! Welcome Steph! Come check out the challenge blog to see Steph's fun snowman card, and the cards from our wonderful Designers.

I have two Snowmen that I'm dying to get my stamps on again! Loll, your snow guy is adorable! I'm so loving that little stitched heart of his!

Adorable snowman with a polka dot scarf. Love how you added the polka dots to the scarf and touches of soft blue to the snowman. Your snow bank was perfect for your sentiment too. TFS Lolly. Love and Hugs..Nancy
P.S. Love the cute photo of Jessie and her belly:-) She is adorable. Hugs..
What a cute snowman with his scarf tightly wrapped around him up to his nose Loll! So pretty with the dark red (almost maroon!) and fun balloon - lovely landscape with the torn edge and embossed snowflakes! xx
Love the textured snowflakes and that darling snowman! Sweet card!
Loll, such an adorable snowman, wonderful watercoloring. Fantastic card.
What an adorable snowman - I haven't seen that one before. Fabulous embossing paste / stencilled background. And the "snowman hugs" is the perfect sentiment to go with a snowman who has a heart and a heart balloon!
Great photo of sweet Jessie!
Your snowman is absolutely ADORABLE Loll!! He looks so snuggled up in his polka dotted scarf, and I'm loving the background you created with the stencil and paste too...beautiful!! Sweet, SWEET card my friend!! Hugs. :0) P.S. And Jessie looks ADORABLE too...that's just a given!! :0)
Such a cute little snowman, Loll! I love how you colored him and really love how you used embossing paste to create dimension on your snowflakes...so clever :)
Jessie looks like one happy girl! I'll bet she gets a lot of belly rubs from you and hubby, too ~ xx
Loll, what an adorable Snowman, I love your you embedded him in a hill of snow with all those snowflakes around him ♥
What a cute little snowman. Gorgeous snowy background too and I love the pop of red xx
Jessie is so cute - and the snowman almost as cute too - that's a fabulous card Loll
Stay safe
Blessings

That snowman is the cutest ever with his festive scarf and happy balloon. I love the embossed snow background too. Wish I could be there to give Jessie her belly rub! She is so sweet.
The embossed background looks wonderful in this winter scene. I love the addition of red, it enlivens the card so beautifully. Beautiful inspiration, Loll.
Jessie looks adorable :-)
hugs,

Adorable snowman card and so is Jessie! Fabulous background. The red really pops. Love the white dot details.
Very cute with your lovely colouring and the background is beautiful.
Love the card! Jesse is adorable also!
Your snowman with a shiny red heart balloon is so cute, Loll! If he gave me a snowman hug, I would be melting. ;-) Love all the wonderful details (shading, polka-dtos, torn edges). The white-on-white snowflake stenciling is perfect for creating the wintry sky, keeping the card CAS!
Hideko xx
p.s. And look at Jessi's eyes. Who could resist giving her belly rubs?
Oh it's so adorable and I would happily hug him...
Thank you for my guest designer warm welcome this month! Love your cute snowman in his snowy setting holding a heart and all ready to hug ... Steph x
You've done a wonderful job with this adorable snowman, Lolly! He stands out beautifully against the stencil paste snowflakes and snowbank! A super fun Christmas card, my friend!
Your snowman looks very sweet and shy and right at home in all that snow. There's nothing better than a tummy rub is there, Jessie? Our LuLu seems to have forgotten about tummy rubs since her stroke. Just one of the worrying things about this incident.
Haha, I was all prepared to talk about how that has to be the most heartwarming snowman ever and then you go and add a photo of heartwarming Jessie and I can't stop smiling at HER, lol! It's a great photo, Lolly! But your snowman design is still fabulous, too! Love, Dolly
Such a gorgeous card! I love the white on white look and now I need that stamp!
Such a sweet snowman Loll, love the stencilled snowflakes and how you've created the snowbank for him to stand behind, gorgeous design, Cathy x
Your snowman is so cute, it looks so cold there, with the scarf right up under his nose! What a wonderful design with the snowflakes in the background and him standing on a back of snow, knee deep! Fabulous snowman card, Loll!
Super cute Christmas card, Loll! I love the sweet little snowman!
What a cutie in his snowy scene, Loll ... such delicious texture and interest! Hugs, Anita :)
