Well obviously if I have a new snowman die, I was inspired by the upper right photo, but I was also inspired by the plaid in the upper left corner, and came up with this card:
Isn't the snowman just ADORABLE?!! He's from Cottage Cutz (Winter Snowman) and I ink blended all the pieces with turquoise and green inks (Gina K) and the body with a little bit of blue ink. I used what ink was left on my blending brush to make the stenciled plaid background (PFS - Diamond Plaid).
I used PFS Mini Slimline Stitched Scallop Rectangle die to create my frame and die cut and stacked 3 of them for some dimension. The dimension of my mini slimline card is 6 1/4 x 3 1/4, and I just LOVE this size card!! The die cut snowflake behind my snowman is from a tag die set from Gina K.
My sentiment is from MB (Let it Snow Posh Script) and I finished this card with a few PFS gems. I'm not sure if I'll save this for next Christmas or use it as a Winter birthday card...we'll play that one by ear!
Lots of FABULOUS inspiration from the DT, and you can check it all out HERE to play along and get a head start on those Christmas cards! This challenge is open till Feb. 3rd.
