Happy Monday Crafty Friends! I trust your weekend was great and you found time for some crafty fun. I have a quick share today featuring a Snowman and his Tree. And yes, I'm now in full holiday mode...and you probably are too!
The Snowman is an older (from 2015) stamp set from Stampendous. He's a cling stamp and I still love using him every Christmas Season. The older red rubber and cling stamps are so well made, even though this stamp is 13 years old, it still stamps beautifully. Snowman are also my favorite Holiday and Winter images/home decor items.
I've colored him using Prismacolor Pencils, the patterned papers are snippets from 3 different Echo Park 6x6 paper pads and instead of stamping a sentiment, I've went with a mini journaling card that was also part of a paper pad. Gotta use what we have on hand eh? I've also fussy cut him and popped him on craft foam for dimension.
I've used a card sketch from Cardz TV (she has over 50 free card sketches to choose from) and embellished with faux pearls.

Really neat background with the different papers, and I have to agree, most of my favorite go-to's are the good old red rubber stamps too! Thanks for playing along at SAS4Kids!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful image Donna, and so prettily coloured. I too have red rubber stamps that are 20 (or more) years old that still stamp beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYour background is stunning with the papers - a great sketch.

A very festive card Donna, I love the combination of papers in the background. The snowman is wonderful, you've coloured him beautifully, and I like your idea of using the tag as a sentiment.
