My cards lately have been definitely a "less is more" theme. I seem to kind of be in a simpler mode when I sit to make something. This card definitely falls right along in that category. Image and sentiment stamped together on the same panel, with a few touches of color and few layers of card stock.
Here are the Copics I used to add a few touches of color.
After I colored the image I embossed it with a polka dot embossing folder. But then thought the embossing was too much, so I ran it though again with some flat layers of card stock to flatten it back out. But it only flattened out some of it and I kinda liked the result of the more subtle embossing. After I assembled the card I went back and added a little holographic glitter glue to give some sparkle. I also used a Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen to top off Mr. Snowman's hat.

love the glitter and the card...beautifully done.
Just love these new snowman stamps!! Love your coloring and the touch of glitter.
Jenny......What a super, lovely card. Thanks for the tip about running the embossing back through the machine to "tone it down" a little. I wouldn't have thought to do that and the effect is just perfect with your card.
this is gorgeous! I love the little bit of sparkly snow!
Love the colors and the glittery snow! He is just adorable!
Looks gorgeous! love that glitter!
I just love the bow on the snowman's middle snowball - so cute and festive! Nice job.
Those flattened dots are kind of interesting - like lumpy snow. Your glitter is divine, as is the pearly band and ball on his hat. Thanks for sharing.
I'm loving this stamp, your coloring an the addition of glitter really make this card.

Love your card! Flattening out the dots is really neat and I love how you used the glitter and Viva pen!
Ooooh.... you are sealing the deal ladies! This is just adorable. You've done an incredible job with your coloring. I've also found new, can't-live-without-em Copics too. EEEK!
*dances happily away to add a couple of colors to my order*
This card really says Christmas! Love how you used the Viva Pearl pen on his hat, and the glitter glue on the snow! I would've never thought of flattening out the embossing like you did here, but it is stunning! Love how you embossed on the main panel! That bow is absolutely stunning! The white was a great choice here!
I have a thing for snowmen...betcha didn't know that LOL! Darling and so very festive!
I agree, less is definitely more on this card! The glitter really makes it fun.
LOVE this snowman!!! I really like the dotted texture in the background!!!
Joyful for sure - adorable!!
Simplicity is everything sometimes and it shows in this card. Beautifully done with just the right sparklies, red accents and the written sentiment is perfect. Another amazing piece of work!
