A little glitter

When I was a kid, Christmas cards were a big deal with my Mom. She hand-wrote letters to go with each card she sent out, and I loved to look at the cards she received. I'm not really the glittery type, but glitter seemed to make any Christmas card special, so I still still to put a little glitter on Christmas cards.

On this card, I used Stickles on the snowman's hat, and put a little glitter on the embossed piece.

Beyond that, I just used a little color on the snowman's scarf and let the paper do the rest of the work. The paper is from Echo Park.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

CRAFT Challenge #236, Christmas
Sister Act Challenge #36, Christmas
Papertake Weekly Challenge, Anything Goes
Love Rubberstamps #81, Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday #109, Anything Goes
