Hi! Have things begun to warm up where you are?
It's been a chilly weekend here and we even got a bit of snow under a bit of ice. Perfect time to pull out these new supplies and make a winter card to say thanks.
I am someone who thinks you can never have too many snow people stamps, so I was ready for these adorable images of snow families and friends from Honeybee stamps (Snow Family Like Ours) to come to my house when they had their recent sale.
I loved the the sentiments that come with this set too! I inked the snow-couple and colored them with Zig markers and a blender pen, then fussy cut them.
Blending the background in Oxide inks using Dried Marigold and Picked Raspberry was my first step. Next I used the Cute Hearts Stencil (SugarPea Designs) and went over the inking adding a second layer to darken the hearts.
I added splatters of white gouache and a spritz of Glimmer Mist. I really enjoyed including special touches with Nuvo drops, a shimmer pen and clear drops on the snowman's hat.
Creating a white snowflake background to match the sentiment with Honeybee (Falling Snow Background) embossed on black card stock added a bold contrast. Since all these supplies linked are new to me, I will be entering this in the NBUS Challenge. The snowflakes are from an assortment of dies from my stash.
All in all, this is the kind of card I love to make! Taking cute images and using a variety of mediums and techniques to highlight them has been totally satisfying for me today.
I hope you're glad you've come by! I know I have really enjoyed sharing with you. Stay warm and stay well.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
