Mid Reminder for Christmas Kickstart Challenge


 I'm trying those non-traditional colors out again.  I absolutely have to experiment more often and YES, it is sometimes sunny with snow, but I never put sunrays on a winter card with snow banks and snowmen before.  This is really one of the most adorable cards I've ever made.  I am thrilled with it.  

When I cut out the Postage Collage dies, I first cut a piece of 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper into 4 pieces and that way I get a usable trim piece too.  When I finished putting this card together, I thought it needed some framing and since I already had the trim cut from the Postage Collage dies, I used what I had.

Supplies:
Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die - the trim around the card
Sunny Studio Snowman Kisses stamps & dies
Birch Press Wavy Hillside
My Favorite things Ray of Light stencil not on website anymore
Waffle Flower Shader Brushes 1+ (double sided brushes) - love these
Distress ink milled lavender & Distress Oxide fossilized Amber
Copic markers
Vagabond die cut machine
