...snowtime like the present!



With all that's been going on lately this is the only thing I got made this week!!!!

I'm itching to get at some stamps! Soo need to do more stamping this week!

Anyhow, inked up the snowman from Sewing Box Christmas, layered him as follows, used white card: first layer stamped in Enchanted evening ink , colored red with copic. Second layer stamped in Ocean Tides, stamped very lightly with versacolour pale blue ink with polka dot stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds. Third layer - hat - stamped in Enchanted evening ink onto Ocean tides cardstock.

Did the skinny tape and glitter trick on the hat to make a hat band.

Made him hold a little heart from the Sewing Box Christmas set. Which I glazed with my new possession! Ranger glossy accents!!!! ooh love this stuff!

Couple of page pebbles on top of the buttons (visit Bev at Precious scraps for these!).

Put the snowman on a panel cut with Labels 1 die and accented with a dotty border from the Vintage Labels 1 stampset, I inked up the outer dotty border only on the dotty border stamp. I also lightly stamped polka dots and snowflakes on this to give it a bit of grounding!

Papers are from Cosmo cricket mini stack Jolly by Golly and the ribbon is one I got from Bev ages ago and can't remember the name of!! sorry!

hope it tickles!

  2. Adorable card Claire! I love the snowman and how you've used the label set, I just received that one with 3 others. I understand about the stamping time, why are there so many other things that demand our time first? I can't wait to start playing with my new stamps!!

  5. This card is darling. I didn't choose this set myself but this and some of the Design Team's projects have me second guessing my decision.

    Claire, you're so good with the finishing details...a real craftswoman.

    Thanks for the inspiration,
    Jackie
