Tipsy snowman

I'm back with this week's 52 Christmas Card Throwdown card.

Branka has chosen "Snowmen" for her theme.

I had this planned out all week, but ended up making it at the last minute so it's actually a pretty quick one.

I started by die cutting three ovals from my card, and stamping the figures (Clarity wee folk stamps), then using a sponge and torn paper to add hills and ground them.

The snowman is a bit wonky - I might redo him before giving it to anyone!

On the background, I stamped the red band across the middle, then ran it through a Tattered Lace embossing folder, with just the top inside. I sponged a bit of the blue ink over the dots.

For the bottom half, I used second and third generation ink and three more stamps from the same Clarity knitted stamp set as the red border.

I then used green and blue to edge the card and the oval apertures, and put together onto an 5x7 card blank.

I think the bottom half of this turned out really pretty! And I like the contrast between the areas.
