Another day of participating in the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place and the alphabet letter today is "C." I decided that a good Cold snowman would be perfect so used one of Beccy's wonderful snowmen.
I colored with Copics (the blues) and ProMarkers (the greens), then die cut the image with a Gina Marie die. The die in the set was wider than I needed so I did two cuts, adjusting the placement of the die to where I needed it for the second cut. I did the same thing with the sentiment, using a smaller die from that same Gina Marie set.
I fully intended to make this a really CAS (another "C"!) design, using only the image and the sentiment. But that gorgeous, sparkly ribbon was lying on my crafting desk, begging to be used, and the silver color added to the "cold" idea so I added a strip of it. Then it seemed to need a bow so I tied a variation of my standard bow tie bows. But the only ribbon I had was white so I used a ProMarker to 'dye' it green.
I resisted any further embellishment so I guess it's still a bit CAS compared to others I do with lots of flowers or die cut embellies. At least there's lots of open space left, even if it's turquoise instead of white. But I started with a colored card base so there never would have been any "white" space, regardless. :-D

OK, I think three posts in one day is probably enough and I promise, while there may be other days this month with 2 posts, I think this is the last 3-post-day! Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
