Be Jolly!

Hello and happy Tuesday... I think. Yesterday it was about 70 degrees here. I had the furnace turned off and the windows open. It was wonderful. Today, not so much. We had rain over night and with it, a cold front. It was still raining this morning, and there was even some sleet mixed in. It's only around 40 degrees now. Oh joy and rapture. At least I was able to air out the house yesterday.

So, with the weather reported, on to my card. I'm going to enter this for both Retro Sketches #37 and also for CAS-ual Fridays #78.

 and the inside:

Here are the challenges:

I used the Retro Sketch and the element from CAS-ual Fridays, which is to add torn paper in your design. The sketch calls for three images and I thought: "Hmm, that snowman is made of three parts. That works for me!" LOL! I stamped and embossed him on watercolor paper, colored and cut him out. I also stamped the sentiment on the watercolor paper. The reason is that the center panel is glitter card stock. It may be hard to see in the picture. You can't stamp on that and not have your ink smear all over the place. (That wasn't the look I was going for. ☺) For the inside, I also tore the glitter paper to look like snow covered ground, then stamped the snowman and sentiment.

Well, that's all I have for now. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for stopping by!
