Big on Christmas

I have been wanting this Stamp Set for awhile. It is called Big on Christmas. There are three stamps that come in this set, but my favorite is the Snowman!! Here is a simple little card.
I am chosing to use more non traditional Christmas Colors this year for some reason. I think because I am liking things more whimsical this year. I guess I am " big on whimsy"!
Materials used:
Big on Christmas Stamp Set
Bashful Blue Card Stock
Whisper White Card Stock
Bashful Blue Grosgrain Ribbon
Assorted SU markers
