During a recent trip to visit my Aunt we did a little crafting. My aunt used to own a craft shop and actually taught stamping classes. She brought out some of her old stamps for me to look at and I fell in love with this patriotic snowman. I stamped him a few times on a sheet of paper and brought him home with me to use in the future. Our Creative Corner's challenge this week was for stars and stripes so I knew right away I wanted to use this image. I used a combination of Copics and chalk to color it. I didn't want it to be too bold so I colored lightly. My card base is a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square. I backed my image with a triangle hoping it would look like a Christmas tree. The snowflake on top came from Cricut's Accent Essentials cartridge. I used glitter to make it sparkle. My print paper is Snowflake Garden from Heidi Grace Designs. I added a little Stickles on the swirls of the print paper but it doesn't show up in the picture. Bad lighting today, I think. It is raining and cloudy. I embellished around a couple of the snowflakes with clear rhinestones. Imagine my horror when I finished the card and realized that at some point while making it I had cut my finger and bled all over the back of the card. I can probably salvage it if I add another paper to the back of the card.
