I love snowman although I’m sick and tired of all the snow we’ve had this year in Maine. What a long and cold winter and I’m an avid snowmobiler so you know it’s bad when even I say that! So today at Merry Monday we have a Christmas card challenge to add a snowman to your card:
I used lots of tools today to create my snowmen:
I’m also very pleased with the color combination I used. The Pool Party looks great with the Tangerine Tango and white & black as offsets. My snowmen started out being cut with the Circles Collection Framelits dies. I layered the black behind the white to give the illusion of a top hat. Once I placed my snowmen in the corners of my card base, I trimmed my circles even on the sides:
I used Candy Dots for the eyes & mouths but as you know, there are only a certain amount of each color in a package. I fixed that by using a black Permanent marker and coloring other colors that I don’t use quite as often:
- Cardstock: Pool Party, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Basic Black
- Inks: Pool Party, Blushing Bride
- Accessories: Pearl Jewels, Candy Dots
- Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Tools: Big Shot Machine, Snowburst Embossing Folder (retired), Circle Collection Framelits Dies, Sponge Daubers, Word Window Punch, Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die (retired), Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Misc: Black Permanent Marker
