It sure is cold across much of the US and Canada this weekend so I thought it would only be fitting to make a card to acknowledge it. I would say celebrate but.....that's probably the wrong word right? Brrr! I hope all of you have a toasty house and plenty of warm drinks.
I used several die sets for this one. I created the shaped background using the largest page die in the 5768 - Decorative Journal Page 1. It's an unusual use for it but it works great on the card. I trimmed off the edge that is intended to be folded and put in a journal. When applied to the edge of the card, it makes a nice shaped sky for the snowman. This pudgy snowman and his bird friend are from 5351 - Chubby Snowman Set. I colored him with Copic markers. The sentiment is also in the set. I heat embossed it with silver on a circle cut from 5064 - Circle Double Stitched Dies. I made the flurry of snowflakes in the background using 5353 - Lg Snowflake Dies with white glitter cardstock. Finally I added a floss bow, blue enamel dots, and iridescent sequins. It's an icy but cheerful scene. Perfect for what I had in mind!
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you'll stop by the store to see all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects.
