Merry Monday Challenges

This week's Merry Monday Challenge is to use a snowman on your card. I love snowman so I had no problem getting motivated to create a snowman card. :-)


The card base is white with a layer of red CS and then a layer of DCWV blue dotted DP. The tiny snowmen were stamped in Memento Black ink on white CS, colored with Copics, die cut and layered on some red scalloped circles. The Merry Christmas sentiment was also stamped in Memento Black on white and layered on red. The three circles were added to the blue and white strip which was edged with a MS snowflake border punch. I added some red nail heads to three of the tiny punched white snowflakes and used them on the side of the card.

I didn't get time to play in Lesley's Merry Monday Sketch challenge last week, but I decided to go ahead and create one using the sketch even though it's too late to link it up. I really like the sketch!

                                                          


This card uses red and white CS and a layer of dotted green DCWV DP. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Black ink on white CS, die cut with a Nestie and sponged with Real Red ink while still in the die. The button was threaded with red bakers twine before attaching it to the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
