Inspired By: Melted Snowman

 


These Inspired By Card Challenge has the most intriguing challenge this week... 
take a look


I had to play along, especially with friends on the design team who came up 
with the most clever interpretations!


The colors, of course inspired my card, but a melting snowman? I had nothing.
So, instead I used just the head of a new favorite, a Tim Holtz Thinlets die set,
Cool Yule. He looks rather perplexed at having a monocled eye and only a head, 
and I love his sassy wide eyed stare!


Inspired By gives us this sketch to use, which I did use, loosely (perfectly admissible!),


the Greetery's Snowflake Soiree set comes with a series of stencils, giving you the 
option to change colors with your snowflakes. I didn't really change my colors as
much as use a lighter touch with the B stencil. Betsy even included a stencil that lets you
shade or color below the snowflakes. The wonderful sentiment is the Greetery's Simply
Wonderful.


Had to include the polka dots in the inspiration photo with the dotty bow tie! 
Theres a lot of shimmer on my card too, like it's been out in the frosty air.

Well, that's it folks. Think I came close to the inspiration, but if you want to 
see some brilliance, check out the designers at:

Serendipity December Blog Hop: Sparkle & Shine


Hi there and welcome!
I am thrilled to be guest designing for Serendipity Stamps
for the month of December!



When you get an email from Jeanne Jackna, you spend the rest of the day
grinning! And then she says, "pick any stamps you need".
This sweet Sledding Snowman, is close to how I feel!

Our challenge from Mary was Sparkle & Shine with 'Snow'.
Perfectly timed for this season!



Sledding Snowman is fussy cut and copic colored. Snowflakes embossed from Snowflake Set.
The large and small snowflakes are also cut and given some 'snow' embossing.
Joy Die cut twice from shimmer paper and 'snowed' with more ep.


His scarf and hat brim are also popped up and I used some silver Wink of Stella to 
accent.

Can't wait to see what all the talented designers at Serendipity have come up with!


Also some more important news, Serendipity is having a sale!
40% off your highest priced item when you enter "40fromhigh1214".
It's good through 12-10, so hurry!

Just have to throw a big hug to Queen Jeanne for the guest designership!
And we'll all be back the 17th for more fun ideas with Sparkle & Shine!
