I have had a blast!

Today is my last post as a Guest Designer with Flamingo Scraps. I have had a blast this month and I thank Suzanne so much for the invite and privilege to create along with her Designer Team for the Flamingo Scrap "Christmas In July." For this project I used the new "Winter Fun" collection from Carta Bella. I love the unexpected cranberry being used along with the pretty blues and creams. Really nice winter colors.

 

These papers remind me of winter, frost. and snow. I knew when I received this months

 kit that I wanted to do something with a snowman. I started off by stamping the three snowmen

 from the Flakey Friends stamp set.

 

Using a waterbrush and ink I lightly colored in the head ware, scarfs, and stick arms.

 

 

Using the Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament Dies, I cut each snowman using the 4th largest die.

 

Before removing it from the die, I lightly shadow inked all the area around the snowman leaving a pretty white framed border. 

 

 

I then used a liquid glue and marble glitter to fill in the snowman's head and body and let it dry.

 

 

 From there I cut three small rectangles of the coordinating papers and attempted to have a slightly different template using the same sized papers for each card.

 

 

I also placed the solid blue paper in an embossing folder for extra texture and interest

 

 

To finish the outside of each card I added three different sweet winter verses and matted them using a punch and more of the coordinating designer papers.

 

 

 

  

Don't forget the most important part. Always sign and date the back of your creations.

 

 

I hope you enjoy my cards!
