Welcome, and thanks for the visit!
Today's post is a short one with a card for a couple of challenges. I ended up posting my last card (blue & white) Color Hues #125, and then was asked to join another challenge asking for shades of blue, Inspirational #359. So I came up with this card, probably for my eldest grandson this next Christmas ~
While this has several layers, it's a pretty easy card (HA - struggles listed later). The blue layer was cut with a cover plate punching out the starts and snowflakes, then layered over a layer of white glitter cs. A second panel of glitter cs was then cut using an NBUS die for the treeline, layered over that. Lastly, I cut the NBUS snowman and put him together, thinking I would add him on a wobbler. That's where the frustration started! I have these wobblers and yet I struggle to use them, 1) they aren't "flat" under the sticky portion, so the small side always has trouble sticking to whatever I want to wobble; 2) with added glue and using my reverse tweezers, I try to get them to stick more and still no success! Thus, I removed the wobbler and layered him straight onto the panel -- easier for mailing anyway, with all the layers of glitter cs! A foiled sentiment was then added. With two unused products now used, this'll be going to NBUS #182 too!
Supplies:
HB - Northern Star coverplate
Ps - Whittle Friendly Snowman die (NBUS)
MB - Woodsy Plaid dp, AlpineTree die (NBUS)

Have a great weekend!

Great card for the challenges. Those wobblers can be persnickety.

Your grandson is going to love this card TK! I haven't tried using the wobblers. I love the idea of movement, but it sounds too frustrating! Thanks for the warning. xx
Seems perfect to me, TK! and really adorable!

Such a pretty, snowy/starry background to show off the snowy trees and snowman, TK! Sounds like your wobblers were defective. So frustrating! But I bet your grandson won't care a bit that the snowman doesn't move.
This turned out so cute and I love the snowman's matching hat and scarf. Thanks for taking the time to join us at Color Hues.
All that glittery snow is right where it should be, TK, on your card. I think your snowman loves it and I love him.
What a sweet card for your grandson, TK! Perfect take on the Color Hues colors.
