Catching Snowflakes

I just love Snowmen and this one just looks like he is so happy catching snowflakes. The playfulness of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper becomes available tomorrow (eek!) and is just perfect for Mr. Snowman. Vellum adds a softness to the card with the crinkle seam ribbon in the background. I attempted to put a sentiment on the front of this one and decided against it. I like him just as he is.

Full list of supplies needed, listed below. A die cutting machine is needed for this card.
