Boy, it sure is cold outside.....NOT. Boiling hot here in good old Michigan. So, I thought I would make some chilly cards to take my mind off the heat. I used two snowman stamps from Third Coast Rubber stamps. My buddy, Leigh, has started a new Challenge blog for Third Coast Rubber. Why not go over and check it out? And, say hi to Leigh...she is so sweet...and talented. It is all about Christmas in July...all over blog land. I suppose some are thinking about their Christmas cards already. It sure doesn't hurt to get a few done early.
The images are colored with Copic Markers. I layered with Coral and Ruby Red from Stampin' Up and green CS from American Crafts. The Decorative Paper is from Basic Grey. I added a fun polka dot ribbon and some brads.
On the second snowman, I repeated the reds and greens (this green is from SU). . I used the larger polka dot Basic Grey DP again and punched a decorative edge. I used a coral ribbon and brad for accents. The hat brim is colored with glitter glue (Stickles).
Poor little sad snowman...isn't he cute??!!
