Snowy Night

I thought it was about time I started on my Christmas cards since I haven’t done the same as last year which was making a few each month.  A recent purchase were some dies from the Tim Holtz vault release and this week I’m using the snowman from the Winter Wishes set.

First, I die-cut enough bits to make four snowmen.  The scarves and hats are formed from two pieces so I added a darker shade of ink to the skinnier pieces for some dimension.

Next, the pieces were assembled and the little snowmen came to life.

The snowmen were going to sit on a snowbank and I wanted the sentiment to be heat embossed in silver on this.  This fun font sentiment is from Joy To The Woods by Lawn Fawn.

The background sky was an inky sheet made using various shades of blue Distress Sprays and Spritzes which I’d chopped into 4” squares.  I heat-embossed Lawn Fawn’s Snowy Backdrops in white on each square.

The panels were to be mounted on 5” card blanks, which I decorated by stencilling Distress Oxide Weathered Wood ink through Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries stencil.

The finished panels were mounted on each card blank and I added a little glitter onto the hat and bobble on each snowman.
