ABC Christmas Challenge - O is for...

I have another card for our current ABC Christmas Challenge today, where the theme is:


'O is for Open It Up'
Also decorate the inside of your card

We have two amazing sponsors for this challenge:


 The fabulous Bugaboo Stamps prize is:

and

The Ribbon Girls

The awesome prize from the Ribbon Girls is:

I've made a gatefold card this time, using a couple of snowman images, that I though worked well together, despite the fact that they're by different stamp companies. On the outside, I've used a very old Penny Black image called (it took me several hours worth of Googling to find this out!) 'No Peekin' Snowman'. The paper is from the 'I Believe' pad by My Mind's Eye...I distressed the edges, then added faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen.The sentiment is from a Christmas set by Lili of the Valley, the snowflakes are a mixture of Marianne Designs & Cuttlebug dies, and the pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


And on the inside, it's 'Homespun Hearts Snowy' by High Hopes Stamps. The paper is the same, and the layout is similar, with another Lili of the Valley sentiment on one of the side panels, and space to add my own message on the other.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
