Today I am starting with a lovely new snowman stamp by Crafty Stamps. Inspiration for this project was the nice clean and cold air on a winter's morning. To give it this more 'frosty' feel I opted for white, light blue and silver as the main colours with a lot of mirri card and a bit of glitter.
Here are the 'ingredients' for my 15cm x 15cm square card:
- Large snowman stamp XM129Q by Crafty Stamps
- Spectrum Noir pens
- Black Memento ink pad
- White linen cardstock by Southfield
- White glass-smooth cardstock (200gsm) by Southfield
- Textured light blue cardstock
- Silver mirri card
- Adhesive pearls
- Stickles glitter glue
- Circle and scalloped circle cutting dies
- Cheery Lynn holly corner die
- Snowflake embossing folder
- Die-cutting-machine
- Adhesive
- Toolbox essentials

Hi Heike
What a beautiful card. I love the embossing. The use of mirri card, your lovely die cuts and the snowman is very cute and beautifully coloured in too.

Hi Tracy!
As snow is white anyway, I just used blue grey Spectrum Noir pens (BGR1, BGR2 and BGR3) to place shadows and to give a rounded impression. I used dark ice greys and a bit of black for the hat. For the carrots I opted for the oranges OR1 and OR2. True blue pens then created the scarf.
I love it, fab image :-) Elaine xxx
