Paper Smooches SPARKS-December Cool Shades Challenge

This week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is a Cool Shades challenge featuring the colors red, green, yellow and white. They're perfect for making a festive, seasonal card!

I made a fun wintery card using the challenge colors and the Freezy Fellas stamp set.  Love those snowmen!  Here, I used one of the snowmen images, colored with Copic markers along with some Glossy Accents on the buttons and white flock on the hat to add a little detail to the image.  The colored image is cut out and attached to a green dotted patterned paper panel with some torn shimmery white cardstock "snowbanks" along the bottom.

I added a pair of notch-ended strips to the open space at the upper left of the panel, then stamped the "you are wicked cool" sentiment on a red cardstock circle and adhered that on top of the strips.  A red button, tied with matching baker's twine, finishes the design.

Here are the other team members posting today. Be sure to check out what they've created for the challenge:
