Snowman
You all know that I like pretty cards and that I also like cute ones. Well, when I saw a particular snowman stamp, Snowy by Penny Black, I thought he was so cute I had to have him. He did not even come with a die and I still bought him! The color choices for this little guy are numerous but I went for a green hat and scarf. I used my Copic markers and decided that the scarf and hat matched the retired Stampin' Up color, Green Galore. I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter for the cuff of the hat and a little snow on the ground. Next time, I will also make the pompom on the top of the hat white and glittery, too! I rarely use glitter as I dislike finding glitter for the next few weeks, but after the Dazzling Details smearing, I did not want that to happen with the snowman. But I am not sure that the Archival Black ink or the Copic ink would smear. I will test that next time I am in my craft room. Also, when I use my Copic markers, the back of the white cardstock shows the coloring. That is why I layered the snowman and the little bird on yesterday's card. I am sure that if I had used Stampin' Up Many Marvelous Markers I could have just made these one layer cards using the new thick white cardstock. Have a great day!
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
