May CAS Christmas Challenge - Take 2


Hi there crafty friends! I'm back with my reminder post as May Guest Designer for the fabulous CAS Christmas Challenge!
There is still time to play along in this month's challenge! Here is my 2nd card:


For this card, I stenciled some snowy hills and stamped this really cute Penny Black Snowman. I colored him with Copic markers, used a touch of Glossy Accents for his nose, and added a few polka dots to his scarf with my gel pen. The snowflake is from MFT, which I embossed with iridescent sparkle EP. I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment and re-stamped it with Versamark and added clear EP for some shine...a clear sparkly gem for the snowflake and a wonky stitched border, and that was it!

I hope you'll go through your stash and dig up your favorite snowman stamps or dies and join us at the CAS Christmas Challenge...you know December will be here before we know it, and it's never too early to get started creating our Christmas cards :)

Such a cute snowman with a shinny nose, Barb!
The stenciled snow hills are so beautiful, and the sparkling heat-embossed snowflake on the top-left corner is a great accent. The red matting is subtle but definitely makes the card look festive. Thanks so much for being our very first guest designer this month! You've done a fantastic job! Hideko xx

I do adore this snowman, I kinda wish we had snow here... but I hate the cold, so maybe I don't really want it after all... maybe just the snowman, especially this one lol.
