Here's the card open clearly showing the shaped edge. The set contains one clear stamp and two dies that cut out the right and left side of the snowman shape. I used just one die to cut the left half of the snowman shape from the front of the Lost Lagoon A6 sized card base. Once I'd stamped the snowman I used both dies to cut out the entire snowman shape - I cut using one die at a time so it took two passes through my Big Shot. I coloured the stamped image using SU! inks and an Aquapainter and popped up the snowman, being careful to align him with the shaped edge of the card base. I used masking to get two different ink colours on the sentiment. I cut out the sentiment with a stitched rectangle die and added die cut snowflakes with rhinestone jewel centres to complete the card front.
I covered the entire inside back of the card base with a piece of Whisper White CS. This photo shows the back panel of the card visible from the front.
I decorated the inside of the card and the envelope flap with a stamped sentiment and die cut snowflakes..
Such a happy, fun card to create! This snowman may well feature on a card group card next month!
