Friday morning and another new challenge at QKR Stampede. Our theme this week is "Baby, It's cold outside" which, in many parts of the US and Canada at least, is a totally true statement! I used this darling snowman digi (Digi 23701 "Snowman Scene") and the sentiment "Cold Shoulder" Digi 10801.
The image is colored with ProMarkers and I added bits of glitter to the overall scene for snowflakes and to the snowman for a bit of sparkle. I know that pale blues are the traditional colors for snowy winter cards, but I wanted to see if I could make green look cold and icy. What do you think? Both the image and the sentiment are hand cut.
I heat embossed the card front with white EP from Sparkle n Sprinkle before layering on the image piece. I added green sequins. The sheer ribbon has been hiding in my stash and I added a scrap of narrow, dark-green ribbon before I tied the bow.
