Hello, everyone!
Thank you for dropping by.
Today, I'm cooling off from our very hot and humid Florida temperatures with a fun-loving Snow Person who is making Snow Angels!
Ahhhh, cools me off just thinking about it.

My project features SheepSki Designs "Snow Happy" image!
This digi stamp makes me laugh! Can you picture it animated? I can!
"Happy" was colored with Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 Color Pencils and Gamsol, and then he was die cut:
I wanted to distress the interior of the panel without any of the embossed detail around the edges have blue on it. So Post-It Tape came to the rescue:
Double Sided Tape was placed on the under side of the frame, and dredged with clear glitter from the top:
The panel behind was dry embossed and distressed with the same two distress ink colors. An old Martha Stewart Starlight edge punch was used on one side. Again, on the underside, double stick tape was applied to the star edge, and dredged with navy glitter.
He is so cute!

Your snow angel is coloured beautifully Donna and the added touches of glittery snow really compliment perfectly. I remember that Florida heat although we've not visited for a few years, a stark contract to this morning weather here in the UK, 11 deg and cloudy and cold, seems to the the pattern of our Summer this year apart from one or two day's in-between.

Hi Donna this is a stunning card. I love it. The way you have coloured the image is perfect. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Such a fun snowman Donna, love the idea of him rolling about in the snow! Beautiful colouring and fabulous layout as always, love the attention to detail, like masking off the edges of the centre panel to keep them white and adding the glitter in the 'gaps' it makes all the difference! the cool frost colours are perfect.
We're having the weirdest weather this year...today is horrible really cold for the time of year and raining hard, feels like autumn already!
