Christmas Card Club Challenge # 23 - SNOWMEN

Hi Crafters,
Another fortnight has past and we are meeting up at our friendly Christmas Card Club again for another festive challenge and this time the host is ME! I am posting this a day early as my 613 Avenue Create DT post coincides and I don't like to mix DT posts on the same day.  I have chosen 'Snowmen' for our theme and I hope the ladies on our team enjoyed playing along.  I think snowmen are quite popular among us so hopefully it wasn't too difficult to find a stamp or digital image to use.
Here is my contribution to the group...

I decided to use this gorgeous freebie image that was on the Sugar Nellie Facebook page recently and colour with a vintage style but also make it a shaker card. You may just be able to see the tiny snowflakes in the bottom of the shaker.

Lorraine, I nearly missed your pretty card as well. When I was going down the list Sunday afternoon, some members had not posted at that time. (or else I just overlooked something!). Wow, this is a superlative freebie image. Love the look and the fact that you made it into such a stunning shaker card. Love the colors, the sparkling snowflake and that swirling die at the base of the image. Thanks for a great challenge theme too. Hugs
