Snowman Melt Your Heart

Hi,

I wasn't going to make another Christmas card quite so soon, but as there were several Christmas Challenges around and as i managed to get this very unusual stamp ( the date on it is 1998) from a well known auction site and yes when i saw it, it did 'Melt My Heart', it did also suit the sketch very well and what a great way to use some of my brads.

Bah Humbug - where Challenge No: 43 is 'Snowmen'
