Warm Winter Wishes

I suddenly realised that it's the 25th today, the start of the last Rudolph Days Challenge for 2018 ( ....and one month until Christmas Day!).  The challenge runs until the the end of the month, so just six days to enter the challenge.  It's already Monday in Australia, so the November Christmas Card Challenge at Beccy's Place is now up to 'W'. I'm batch making this Christmas card design today, a quick and easy design on a little 4" x 4" card.  

The stamp is a Hero Arts one.  I bought it half price many years ago, but I don't think I've ever used it. I stamped the image with Versafine 'Onyx Black' and used a green Promarker to colour the scarf.  A little clear Wink of Stella glitter was added to the snow the penguin is stood on to add a little sparkle. The image is die cut with a Spellbinders circle die, layer on a red SB scalloped circle die cut.  The embossed background is matt silver, using a Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' e/f.  I corner rounded the embossed card and card blank.

I am joining in the following challenges:
