Snowmen Melt Your Heart

Morning Bloggers.

Today I have a card to share made with the Creative Expressions Tatty Button Snowman stamp -


Very simple card. The image was stamped in Jet Black Archival Ink and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks and cut it out leaving a white border all around it. The sentiment is from the Creative Expressions Tatty Button Text 2 stamp set and was stamped in Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I used some Blue Lace Matt Drawing Ink around the edge of the sentiment panel.

I cut some snowflakes out using the Spellbinders Create-A-Flake die set and inked through the dies with some Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I added some faux pearls made with Cosmic Shimmer White Pearlescent PVA.

I used some dotted card for backing paper which I edged with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.

The card was assembled as shown. I did some paper piercing with my Tim Holtz Ruler around the edge of the largest piece of blue card.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges -
Charisma Cards Challenge 46 - Snowflakes
Make It Monday #65

Thanks for stopping by.

  13. Hi Julia: I too entered MIM so found you there. Haha This snowman is hilarious! His face is so cute and ironic and questioning and "huh?" I love it! I also really appreciate that you described in detail how you made the card. That so helps when one is learning how to case your card or just learning how to do the craft. It takes time to do that, and it is very generous of you to take that time. I'm imagining you are a kind person for doing that! Happy Holidays Julia. Spirited Love, Samara from MIM
