Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #54 (Snowman Theme) and another Online Pattern Paper Card

I am learning people!  Of course, I pull  out about 5 or 6 different pattern papers and even cut them before deciding what really looks good...I told you I struggle with this!  Will it ever get easier?  I don't know but it sure feels good to be using this pattern paper that just sits in a box!  So the inspiration sketch comes from the Online Card Class Pattern Papers.  And once again I used a cute snowman to enter this card into the Merry Monday Snowman theme card challenge as well.  I figure I might as well kill two birds with one stone so to speak!  Note to self:  buy more twine...particularly RED!
 


paper:  PTI pure poppy, PTI Christmas Prints pattern pack, white
stamps:  Tiny Treats:Christmas, Tag Its # 8
memento marker,  copics, May Arts jute, white uni ball pen for dashes, pure poppy ink

I was just thinking how I need more twine too. Your card is super cute with the three circles and the snowman in the middle Colleen. Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday!

You are your own worst critic! I think your card looks perfectly put together & the result is gorgeous :) Pattern paper is my nemesis, you won't find much of it on my blog....hopefully the OCC will change that x
