On a cold and frosty morning


How are you all on this cold and frosty morning?
Hope it's not too wet where you are - we seem to be escaping the worst of it.

I know a black and white Christmas card isn't for everyone, but I kind of like the way this one turned out.
I think I will make a few of these.



This adorable snowman is a digi stamp from Heather Ellis.
I coloured him with Copics, adding a couple of black gems as 'presents' and popped him up on foam pads
 

For the background I used my Memory Box landscape die, with  a liberal sprinkling of glamour dust to the edges and liquid pearls for the 'snow'.
As usual, IRL this is lovely and sparkly, but my camera skills can't really capture it.

Oh, I do like this Christmas card, and the snowman is darling. This is my favorite color combination - black and white with a splash of red. Thank you for visiting us and following Red Rose Alley. I know I will visit with you often, as your blog is simple, clean, and lovely... everything I like. It is a breath of fresh air. It is raining here today, but I don't mind because I love the rain.
