Little Snowman

Another of my Christmas cards from my last minute cramming session. Will someone please remind me that next year I need to be more pro-active and make them more consistently throughout the year…. Maybe I need to be on a Christmas challenge DT too J

I ADORE snowmen and this cute smiley one is from Birdie Brown and is called Little Snowman. He is coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers and I added some glossy accents to his coal eyes and mouth. A smattering of Stickles glitter glue has been added to his pom pom and scarf trim. He is matted onto a scrap of blue card from my oddments box and I added some Papermania star gems around the main image.

I am rather proud of this card as it is all from scraps J The paper is the last of a sheet of Imaginisce iridescent paper which has a lovely sheen to it. There is even an offcut of blue card that had been embossed with a Cutlebug folder and I used a silver waxy rub-on to highlight the pattern. To finish I added a sentiment from my stash with 2 more of the little gems.

Well with all the wet weather and flooding we are having in the UK there is absolutely no chance of us building a snowman, however on the other side of the Atlantic I see there are massive snowstorms so I do hope my American pals stay safe!
