Teacup Snowman

 Yes, it is Thursday, coming to the end of a crazy month and week. I think it may be the calm before the storm, you know? Stay calm and put the kettle on!



I am finding some quiet time and joy in my craft room and decided it's time to play with a brand new die called Teacup Snowman (scrappingcottage).  Two things that I love in one cup! 

I die cut all the pieces in white card stock and used Copics to color each item. Gluing them together was a bit tedious as they are small, but I think the result is well worth it! This cute guy made me smile and reach for my hot drink of choice. TEA! And don't you love that cute gingerbread cookie?



I added detailing with a shimmer pen and clear Nuvo drops on the berries. I'm happy to be squeezing this in to the last day of play at The Paper Players. I loved the sketch provided by Jaydee so this is take two. 



The sketch lent itself to use patterned paper - mine are from PTI and Stampin' Up! This quilted pattern is one of my favs from the pack and I love the cozy feel it gives my card, as well as providing a color palette. 

Thanks so much for coming to see me here at my blog. Keep well and stay well! Remember to smile and...

Be yourself

     Delight in your craft 

        Make something beautiful!

I've never seen a snowman in a cup before Cindy and I love the idea. You've given him so much detail and I adore the little gingerbread cookie he's waving about! Vicky x
