To make my two totally different style cards, I decided to use the Flourishes stamp set "Warm Winter Wishes" as it is very cold here in Ohio and we are thinking about snow.

My first card I made with the Snowman image is a very Clean And Simple (CAS) card. I made it one layer ...that's as simple as it can get! I stamped the snowman directly onto white card stock and used a die to give an embossed design around the image. Colored the image with Copics ( pastel theme used) and stamped on some snowflakes and the sentiment. I scored some lines on the edges to give a bit more texture. Added some white stickles to finish.

What a wonderful job on these!! Your CAS looks crisp and cold, but love all of the added texture you got in this one layer! Your warm, layered card uses some beautiful papers and the coloring is so pretty, (loving that snowman ribbon). Tfs and have a wonderful day!
