Today I've gone from 30C temperatures and a water park to a winter wonderland LOL! I fell in love with this cute Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Snow Friends couple the moment I saw them! You can't help but smile when you see them :) Actually the whole set is fabulous and I can't wait to use some of the other images.
I used an OCC sketch from a few weeks back for my layout and was thrilled to be able to pair it with my new Seeing Spots embossing folder. I have visited several of my regular haunts only to find it sold out, but this week was my lucky week - yeah!! That means I now have a small dot and a large dot embossing folder to play with so I'm purring like a kitty! In this case, since it's a Christmas themed card, the large dots reminded me of snowballs, so I decided to use it instead of snowflakes.
The snowmen are coloured with Twinkling H2O's since I don't own any Copics. I added glitter to make snow and also added glitter to her earmuff and his hat band and pompom. As you can see, I messed up on the hat colouring - ugh! I accidentally coloured the band blue instead of leaving it white so I tried to hide it by putting glitter over top, but it didn't work as you can still see the blue underneath. I'm blaming the cat LOL! I added this adorable sentiment, some pink ribbon and two blue snowflakes as per the sketch design and called it a card.
Thanks for visiting today and I'll see you tomorrow with my sample card for the next Curtain Call Colour Challenge!

I've used it lots already :) Like yours, my swiss dots has been used the most...it's even coming apart a bit at the top!! LOL Stay cool today :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Marisa! A great card to cool off with after all the heat. Sounds like your waterpark trip was a huge success :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think I'm the one that enjoys waterslides the best too! :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun Marisa to see this cute winter scene, such a change from the warm weather we're all having hey?
Those little guys are too cute! And some nice cool weather sounds great! I am not a fan of summer. I'll take the eternal spring. :)
ReplyDeleteHow perfect is that polka dot background? LOVE! It totally looks like snow falling in the background.
It sounds like the water park trip was fun! We had a pool when I was a kid, and my sister and I would LIVE in the pool during the summers. How I miss it!
Love the dot ef!...will this be replacing your fave swiss dots? Fantastic colours and punches. I really like the paper piercing in the corner.
ReplyDeleteIt has been years since I've been to cultus lake water slides. We plan to take the kids in a few years when they are older. For now we might just slip into Dinotown in Bridal Falls the next time we head to Burnaby.
Awwww...such a darling snow card! :)
ReplyDeleteMarisa how fun that you all went to a waterpark....we have on here in town and I'm planning to take my girls on Monday :)!!! I'll be thinking of you when I go down the bis slide...LOL!!!
