Sweet November Preview Day 1 "wish u goodcheer"

Welcome to the first of four days of Sweet November previews for the month of November. Although it rarely snows here in Alabama I still love snowmen and they always figure prominently in my Christmas cards each year. Today's projects feature "wish u goodcheer."

A bit of departure from me today as I made my card an A10 size. I kept the design simple as I wanted "wish" to shine and I think he does with the cool gray background and by keeping things fairly simple. As you see there is a some out of the box action with the ornaments and the scarf. It's hard to see in a photo but I added Ranger Stickles for the snow and Glossy Accents on the Christmas balls for a little sparkle and shine. I used clear jewels for the center of the snowflake and then again on the border to complete the icy look. The paper is all from the Basic Grey Nordic Holiday pad.
