The Snowman again

Evening everyone.  Today I made another Christmas card using a decoupaged image from The Snowman cd by Crafters Companion.  The base card is made from white Centura Pearl  card and I embossed lines around the edges using my Hougie Board to form borders.  I decided I wanted to get my hands dirty this time so used a Creative Expressions mask - the snowflake one - and blended Tim Holtz distress inks - broken china and faded jeans - over it and then cut around the edges (not great at cutting - I am scissorley challenged as Leann Chivers would say!)  Then I added my decoupaged Snowman, some bling, a ribbon and a sentiment.  It was a quick and easy card to make.


The colours don't really show up too well in this photograph as it was taken in artificial light and I usually try to take them in natural daylight.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

    Catherine I love this card. I really think the ice blue colour compliments the Snowman really well. I love the ribbon too - I use a lot of ribbons as a finishing touch.

    Thanks Sarah. I have discovered that Tim Holtz distress inks in broken china and faded jeans go really well with the Snowman. I can't for the life of me remember where I got the ribbon from as I am always buying ribbon when I see some I like, but it matches the Snowman perfectly too.
