sneak peek revealed






I'm just loving all the snowman cards on the Hero Arts blog and on the Caardvarks challenge....since I don't have a snowman stamp.......yet.......I drew this snowman and scanned it.




I stamped Raindrop Background on deep red paper and printed the snowman on it and on cream paper. I cut out the hat and scarf and glued it to the snowman (on cream paper)....coloured the nose and arms with Derwent pencils and cut it out. I used Four Leaf Grid for the background and some white and clear buttons for snow.....distressed the edges of the pale blue paper with my finger nail (Jennifer's great tip)....

TFL!

P.S. check out 'take a little piece of my art' and get in on the birthday giveaway!!

Your snowman is adorable, if it was a stamp I'd buy it. You are so talented, it shows on your designing of the whole card. I love the background paper and the buttons for snowman are so cute and original! Seeing your card makes me wish this heat wave was over and the cold days were here.....ahh, if only it could happen, lol. Thanks for sharing! Sammie
