Snow Buddies...

Today I am sharing my Design Team card I made for  Digi Haven 

 

We have another fortnight challenge starting today

 

Our Theme:  SNOW BUDDIES

 

 

 

Our sponsor is Dilly Beans

 

 

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE my card

I wasn't sure how it was going to come together, but in the end it all worked out...LOVE IT!

 

I started with a light pink A2 card base

Layered the top portion with Kraft cardstock - embossed with my Cuttlebug & snowflake folder

To get the snowflakes white - rub Versa Craft white ink over the top

When you do this, the ink sticks to the raised up embossed parts only - How FUN is that!

Next I layered two pieces of dotted embossed white cardstock with torn and inked edges

 

I colored the snowman with Copic makers in the following colors:

RV000, RV13, YG41, YG63, YR02, YR07, BV31, BV23

Next step, cut the snowman out and tuck him behind the front snow drift

 

Sentiment from My Favorite Things - Pure Innocence - Snow Day

Attach the sentiment with two brads

 

I created some banners with scrap pieces of cardstock from a 6 x 6 pack of paper

My Minds Eye - Merry Little Christmas

This paper pack is becoming one of my FAVORITES!

 

I finished the card by adding a wooden button tied with jute

 

I hope you enjoyed my card today - because I sure enjoyed making it
