My card today was made with a Whimsy Stamps digital image called "skiing penguin" that I recently won. Isn't he the cutest? I colored him with many different markers, glaze pens, and paint pens, and added glossy accents to his goggles along with some liquid applique to the fur on his cap. I die-cut a Lawn Fawn stitched hillside panel and covered it with frosted stickles to create the snowy hill he's skiing down, and added some sparkly snow behind his skis with 3 different colors of stickles. The sentiment was done with an old G Studio $1 stamp I got from Michaels many years ago, and I used circle punches to cut it along with the turquoise mat. I added a big piece of turquoise bling in the center just for fun. The cardbase and mats are turquoise, and the 2 different designer papers are old ones from Memory Box.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
The Tuesday Throwdown #410 - add some texture
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Bling it On
Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #174 - add 3+ layers
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #403 - a/g Christmas
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope your Thursday is filled with all things good and kind :)

ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the texture on the snowy hill and the little circle sentiment works well.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that aster is one of the birth flowers for September too. What I have found is that there is a British list and and American list. They are the same sometimes, and different others.
He's adorable, what I really like is the textures and the movement you've captured. Such a fun snowy card, makes you smile x

Fabulous dimensions n your cute card! Love the textures and especially that liquid applique to the fur! So lovely and cute image
ReplyDeleteOMGosh this is ADORABLE Carol!! I LOVE Crissy Armstrong's stuff! Love all the shades of blue and the way you did the hill. It just sparkles!
ReplyDeleteHe's cute as a 'penguin' (well, couldn't say bug, now could I?) Love the feeling of movement as he's slushing down that snowy slope. These frosted stickles really look like snow..last time I tried, my stickles looked pink. Wondering what shades you used. I also like the icy patches flying out behind him. As always, perfect combination of papers to enhance the look and I love that button sentiment too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteGreat texture and sparkle on this card. The blue tones are so perfect for this frosty card.

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card Carol! I love the frosty feel you gave this card with the papers, stickles and image. Such a cute image too. I love how you color this guy and I am loving the sentiment. Too cute is this card! I'm afraid we are going to see a lot of the white stuff this winter with all this rain we are still getting.
