Back with first looks at the August sketch for the
Crystal's "any shape" on this sketch made me think of using this sweet Snowman with Bird image from the Whimsy Stamps digital collection. I fell in love with it as I was looking through their digital stamps during their recent Christmas in July sale. The non-traditional colors folks used in the recent BYSHC Linky Party inspired me to try some new combinations. I found some beautiful papers from Maja Designs' Winter is Coming collection in my stash (and cut into the 12x12 pieces - eeek!!) to pair with the Fa La La background stamp from Ellen Hutson I foiled. I wanted to take a playful approach to coloring the snowperson, so I pulled out BV000 and RV000 Copics for the shading and shadows. To keep with the color theme, I used deeper RVs and Rs on the hat and scarf. Making the bird a female cardinal tied in with some of the colors in the patterned paper. The image is fussy cut. The card is finished off with some TE drip drips and another sentiment of her Sentiments in Reverse - Christmas collection and the color blended on the background is TE's Mulled Wine ink.
Hope you will join us this month and add you card
to the {BYSHC} album for Sketch #25
in our FB group. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
In kindness, Cathy
