Hello Ai Fans! 
Today I am sharing my snuggly creations for the Reasons for the Seasons Challenge! My projects feature the Chubby Snowmen stamp set where they are showcasing one of my favorite Reasons for the Season: warm family hugs! This card is also featured on my personal blog today, check it out here


My projects were fairly easy to throw together since I used holiday themed scrapbook paper for the backgrounds. The sentiments were stamped in pigment black ink onto scraps of white cardstock. For more details on how I created the individual cards keep reading below.


For this card I wanted to create a super simple snowy scene. First, I matted snowflake themed paper from the Crystal Blues paper pad to create a snowy background. Next, I die cut a stitched hillside from plain white cardstock to create the snow covered ground. I added shadows to the snow with my Copic Sketch markers. The colors I used to color the snowman and his tree are listed below.


For my second card I used a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of plaid cardstock for the background that coordinated with the clothes on the snowman and bird. I matted the plaid cardstock with solid black cardstock and glue them to the card base. I used the Banner Double Stitched dies to cut the sentiment banner. I also cut a piece of vellum with the Square Double Stitched dies to mute the busy background behind the snowman image. The Copic colors I used to color the image are listed below.

Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy. What’s app contact : +44 7520 636249‬
