I used a snowman for my card. I sponged blue DI on the background, added drops of water for snow effect and also white frantage. I cut the panel with a MFT stitched frame die.
A subtle detail, which is almost invisible in the photo, is that I masked off the snowman and stamped a few trees with white ink and heat embossed with frosted embossing powder. Quite nice in real life.
The sentiment is a combo of dymo and a Tim Holtz die cut.
This card is also for:
Tuesday Throwdown - #401 - Stitching - Real or Faux (Stitched frame)
Creatalicious Challenges - #143 Anything Goes/Option No Patterned Paper

Darling card and your snow effects are fabulous!
Fabulous snowman card Pia.. It is very cold here..Loz
Such a magical, colorful, beautiful background, Pia, for your darling snowman. Do you make many snowmen in your area? We only get a touch of snow every decade or so, but we enjoyed making them in New England when living there. Your skyline reminds me of standing at my doors as a child, and watching the snowflakes come down in the wintry night. Beautifully done! hugs, de
