293 Days Till Christmas

I'm kind of having a bad day. I came home from work to find that I have no power in my apartment...After checking the fuse, I called the Super. Someone will be here in the morning; so until then I have a really ghetto extension cord running from the laundry room across the hall.

I made this card yesterday when I did have power, for Christmas Card Challenge - Embossing. I used two different folders both by Tim Holtz. I tried to ink the folder of the snowman but failed miserably. I went with a different angle and smudged him with ink instead. I also embossed the back ground with snowflakes and then added a rosette from Cricut cartridge Ribbons and Rosettes. I stamped a Merry Christmas with the same ink I smudged the man with and I hope you like it.
