it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Snow Much Fun" which just means she wants to see snow on your projects....but we could still hold off a week or two for the real thing - agreed?
This is what I did....
I think I've hit my quota with all the snow on there. I used another image from that Close To My Heart garage sale find....it probably actually has a name....brb.....ah, Snow Friends. I adore these darling lil snowguys. Maybe I'll actually end up stamping the whole set?!? That'd be a first. I'm sure most of you will recognize the sentiment tag from LOTV. Love those too.
Had a happy little "accident" when I made this. Take a look at his hat. See, originally I was going to paper piece his hat but it just didn't look right, and also when I was getting the card together, the scalloped circle was a piece of textured cardstock, not that glitter fun foam on there now. When I decided to colour his hat instead, because it was such a small piece to colour, I just grabbed my pencil and went at it. So, it was kinda like a rubbing then with the texture of the cardstock showing through. I'm loving the look it gave to his hat. Definitely gonna try to remember that for another time.
Why don't you give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up. And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fabulous projects the other Girlfriends have created.
