What a great Blog Hop this has been. I hope that you all love the 6 NEW SETS as much as I do.

For our final Blog Hop day for October I am using the new set “Snowman Country”.

I stamped the snowman on a cup image 2 times in Palette Noir black. Cut out the complete image from one and the snowman and the holly only from the other stamping.
I colored the image with Copic markers.

On the first layers I used a Christmas embossing folder onto white paper and matted in red.

The second thin layer is Christmas scrap paper left from last year and matted in red.

The third layer is embossed with a music folder, I then stamped the gingham pattern in red, the sentiment in Palette Noir black, added the glitter to the heart and matted in red.
For my focal point I poppep the cup, the snowman and the holly with pop-ups. I added different colored glitter to the snowman, red on his scarf and mitt and white on the brim of his hat.

Put a smatter more glitter on the tree behind the snowman and added tiny half pearls for the hollyberries.

All supplies used on this card are from Mark’s Finest Papers.
