I used an Inky Antics stamp set to create the card above. (113905c Snowman Maker). Its a clear stamp set and the hat, 3 faces, words and scarf are separate stamps. I stamped the hat, face and words directly onto a piece of card, I then stamped the scarf onto a scrap of card and cut it out. Once I had coloured everything, I glued the scarf into place. It was a bit long, so I cut it down a bit. I didn't define his face, as I like it how it is. I glued on the tiny swirl things, which are plastic. I layered it onto red then white card to finish it. He was fairly quick and easy to create! Not that I am in any hurry for Christmas to arrive! But I have a thing for snowmen, lol!
I stamped this hat on to a piece of special card stock...keep reading! It was some I got from Temu.
And look what happened to it when I painted it with some water colour paint! It puffs up and explodes! Below is the card I made. I used a stamp set is from AALL & Create #1034. (Purrfect Paws) It has a cat, a hat and a couple of sentiment stamps. Once the hat was completely dry I glued it to some white card, then on to the pink dotty card. There are about 8 small (3x4 inch) pieces of card. It was advertised as 'card' but to me it looks and feels very much like a kitchen sponge, once it is dry. It goes very hard and solid and is very light in weight. I was fascinated by it at first, but having put it on a card, now I am not too sure if I like it or not! I think I will have another play with it before I say yes I like it. It looks ok in the photo here, but irl the white card has buckled a bit and isn't 'flat'. Maybe I stuck the hat to the white card before the hat was properly dry. Anyway, I thought I would post it. Lets just say it was 'interesting', and something definitely 'different'!
Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and ever day!
Great snowman, Sunshine! I like how you left off the outline — makes it look like he’s in a snowstorm. :) That’s interesting card — it does seem a bit sponge like. Maybe you just need to figure out the best images for it: mushrooms? Coral or seashells? I’m sure you’ll come up with a neat idea! -Andrea
