Today's card features an old Lili of the Valley stamp, called simply 'Snowman'. I stamped him on to watercolour paper, along with a sentiment from the 'Snow Bunnies' set by Anita Jerum for the Colorado Craft Company, then coloured him using watercolour pencils. For the background, I cut snippets of aqua and pink card into sqaures, then embossed them using a couple of 'Snowflake' embossing folders...one by Cuttlebug, and the other is a Sizzix/Tim Holtz one. I distressed all of the edges a little before assembly the card.
