The precious digi is from my incredibly talented friend Kimberly Hecker of Oak Pond Creations. She named this guy, "Say What Snowman". You can get him here. While you are over there pop in and see all the other wonderful drawings Kim has done.
I printed the snowman once on white paper and once on the green checked paper. I then fussy cut the snowman out of the white and the trees out of the plaid. I colored the snowman with Copics and had the card almost finished when my darling little snowman developed a nose bleed. Tragedy struck. I grabbed the tissues and tried to clean up the mess but was a fatal bleed and the poor guy didn't make it through my surgery. Well I printed him again, colored him up and this is his twin brother Harvey. Harvey wanted to remember his departed brother so I cut the hat off and plopped it jauntily on Harvey's head.
The sentiment is a clear dollar stamp from Michaels or AC Moore, the snowflakes are a punch from Recollections, Green Plaid Paper is from Authentique and the Red DP is from the Dear Santa collection from My Minds Eye. Finished up with some Stickles and wahlah it is complete. Fast and Easy (minus the surgery time) but I still think he is kinda cute. How about you?

great card, saw it on MIM xx
ReplyDeleteLove this card and a sentiment I may have to use it this year, so many loved ones passed on, (Last Christmas and the New Year and since) my sister in law has told me, if she gets any Xmas cards that say 'Happy' she will bin them! So....I've taken off the sentiment on her card !!! and now there's a splodge of dried glue in its place..I can't imagine 'always believe' will offend her, great image too. love it!
