I knew I didn't have any actual canvas but thanks to my sweet friend Lesley loaning me her SU! Canvas background stamp I was able to go faux! Thank you very much Lesley! I made a 5 3/4" square Crumb Cake card base and adhered a square of patterned paper layered onto an Early Espresso mat. I stamped the snowman onto Very Vanilla CS with Early Espresso ink and then stamped the Canvas background over the top with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I die cut the circle and sponged the edges with Antique Linen ink. I die cut Early Espresso and Champagne Glimmer Paper circle mat layers, popped a couple of the layers up and added some punched snowflakes. I completed the card front by adding large and small punched photo corners.
I cut a Very Vanilla panel for inside the card, stamped the Canvas stamp, added patterned paper and glimmer paper strips at the bottom and sponged the edges. I stamped the sentiment (one of my faves!) and added three punched snowflakes.
Here's the back of the envelope with a popped up stamped and die cut snowflake on circle layers.

Such a lovely Christmas card! I love the colours you used and the adorable design. The snowman is a really nice one. You placed the stamp very well in your card. And I also love the inside of your card. Well done!

This is beautiful Ruth, I love your stamped canvas background, and the vintage feel to this card. Lovely stamp too!
A canvas stamp - how brilliant! I didn't even know they existed, I do want one too! This design is so beautifully sparkly and classy Christmasy!
This is a lovely Christmas card and the colour scheme is a nice change from the usual red and green. Really cute snowman. Thanks for your recent comments, always much appreciated - (and the tease about next month on HOC LOL!!).
the canvas stamp looks just fab on the interior of your card!!!
What lovely friends you have!

Excellent job with the faux canvas! I like the warm browns you chose. They give your snowman a vintage appeal.
