Bright Christmas Snowman

Today's card revisits the current challenge over at the Jingle Belles blog, and it also plays along with the current sketch over at Merry Monday!

The theme for Jingle Belles is 'Merry and Bright' and with my card yesterday I just felt that I fell a little flat with the "bright" portion of the theme. Sure, the colors were something I don't normally use and were bright to me but I knew I could do something a little brighter so that is how today's card came about! Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise definitely make a bright combo and I feel much better about this card meeting the challenge theme!

I stayed true to the sketch, keeping all the elements Lesley has on it. The circle with the snowman is popped up with dimensionals. I did put glitter on the snowball and snowman after I took the picture though. I had meant to do it before snapping the photo but got sidetracked with making dinner and thought about it after I had the photos loaded already, ooops!
