AAA Cards Game # 194 and "Less is More" # 447

Hello. In the end of this post there is my entry in the following challenges:

AAA Cards, Game # 194

"Less is More" # 447

Finland has been under a heavy heat wave for over a month now and making Christmas cards is not the very first that would come to my mind. However, inspired by these two challenges I decided to make a small one.  This is an OLC and CAS card and it's width and height is just under 2 inches (roughly 1and3/4 inches). 

For making the card I used 

• the stamps of the set in "The Snowman" cardmaking kit (Making Special Cards December 2018 issue 15) to stamp the image and the sentiment; 
• a die to cut an aperture on a separate card stock through which I then coloured the background on the actual cardbase with blue and purple TH Distress Inks; 
• white gel pen for the snowflakes; and
• several colouring pens to colour the image.
