Happy March 1st

Today I made a Christmas card for the Merry Monday and Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenges. The Merry Monday challenge is a color challenge. We are to use aqua, white and silver on our cards. I love this color combo.

       


 
 
      
I started with an aqua card base, added a glittery silver CS layer and then a white CS layer that was embossed with a snowflake folder. The main image is the Invisible snowman, one of my favorite snowmen from DRS Designs. And I just learned they are retiring him. :-(  He was stamped in Memento Black ink on white CS twice and colored with Copics. I fussy cut his scarf and top hat and added them to the main image with some glue dots. The ribbon was added before the main image along with the silver banners. Some aqua snowflakes with rhinestones finish the look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time,
shelia

  5. Great use of our sketch. Nice card (although aren't you tired of snow? LOL!) Must say that I'd rather see it on a card than in real life (grin). Like the sparkle and the blue and white color palate. Well done! Thank you for joining us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
