I knew immediately what stamp to use - I can't help but think 'love' when I see this snowy couple! I stamped the image onto watercolour paper and used inks and a paintbrush to colour. This is a large image and I decided to trim it to make it smaller. I sponged the edges with Old Olive ink and layered onto an Old Olive mat. I thought the 'a wish from the heart for a wonderful Christmas' was the perfect sentiment for this card and I used masking and stamped the sentiment twice so that I could split the sentiment into two pieces. I added the dotty Old Olive ribbon and popped the oval up. I then used an Embosslits die to cut some hearts and I added a rhinestone to each heart.
More embossed hearts on a panel inside with a 'love' sentiment from a Hero Arts set.

Absolutely beautiful - saw this on 52 Christmas card throwdown and had to come for a closer look - would be just right for both of my CHNC challenges - would love to see you link there too. x
Thank you so much linking your beautiful card for both of my CHNC challenges - hope to see you again soon. x
Absolutely amazing, Ruth! LOVE your sweet snowmen and your colors are just amazing! The little hearts with bling are wonderful, too! HUGS! :)
Lovely card. Thanks for joining at CHNC extra chellenge this month.
So so cute Ruth! And made so beautifully too (as usual) with the inside as well. LOVE those two snowpeople and the darling hearts. Hugs D
I could have guessed snowmen, as I know you love them on your cards, but this is so cute and the colouring is amazing. Love the inside too - you are a card genius!
