Frosty the snowman (JB16)

Hi there! Still looking for my mojo, so I decided to give a new challenge a try, and think I may have found it, at least for this card:) My birthday is on Christmas, and I am one of those annoying people who really gets into the holiday (sorry, Scrooges!) I also have a HUGE collection of snowmen, which live all over my house from November until early February. So, my thinking was, make a Christmas card, one with a snowman, thereby incorporating two things I love and maybe just maybe find that spark again? So, I DID have fun! :) I've never played at Jingle Belles before, but the blog has such a cool concept, I'm sure I'll be back! Create a holiday card every week, and then by the time Christmas rolls around, you've got enough to mail out for the year. Very cute & what a GREAT idea to help ease the holiday rush, right? This is also a cross-over challenge at Betty Bees Buzz.

Ok, so my card, I've been dying to ink up this cute little snowman from Inkadinkado. I stamped him in black Memento ink on white cardstock (I like Neenah brand) and then I colored him with Copics. I added some white flocking powder and Diamond Stickles to his hat and a little more Stickles to his scarf. The challenge at Jingle Belles was to use die cuts, so I die cut him and then sponged ink all around him before removing the die. I used a lot of MME Holly Jolly papers from last year. I die cut a larger green piece in the same shape, and also die cut a rick rack piece which I moved over on the die and ran through again to make it thinner. I die cut a solid red rick rack piece as well to mat the dotted rick rack. For the sentiment I used a silver chipboard "S" I found in my old stash. I used a die cut sticker and felt snowflake behind it. For the "now" I used some old red flocked letter stickers, from the same sheet as the die cut sticker behind the "S." A final touch was 3 green glittered buttons around the corners of the die cut.

Well, I hope you like my card! Have a wonderful day:)
