Brrr....

Hello out in Cyber land!

I have been working on those challenge goals for this year. So far so good. I am entering this card into a few challenges you can find below.

I used MME papers to get my colors started. This poor little snowman is down and out by Whipper Snapper. Poor guy looks like he is have such a bad day. Hopefully the little birdie will help him out.


Copics Used:

Snowman & Snow: B0000, B00, 0
Hat & Shoes: BV23, BV25, BV29
Scarf: BG11, BG72, BG78
Bird: B21, B24, B26
Twigs: E57
Noses: YR68, YR65, E97

I added some flowersoft combined with glitter to add some textured snow underneath and on top of this little guy. I thought the snow added a bit of a chill to the card.



About a year ago, I read in a Magnolia Ink magazine how to create this little snowflake and make him stand out a bit. So here is how I did it...
1. Cut out any snowflake out of white cardstock.
2. Apply liquid applique on the snowflake. Add some glitter if you wish.
3. Heat the liquid applique with a heat gun. It will begin to puff. Heat until all the liquid is dried.
4. Top with a gem in the middle.

Now you have yourself a dimensional snowflake.


As I mentioned I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Let's Ink it Up - Anything Goes #19
Gingerloft Challenge - GL32 Let it Snow
Christmas Card Challenge - Week #8
Sunday Sketch & Stamp #90
Scrap Biz Copics Challenge #35 Frosty, Icy, Cold Projects

I hope you enjoyed the card today! Stay warm!

Thank you for stopping by. Your kind comments are always appreciated!

Until next time!
