I was so excited to open my last Stampin' Up! order and see that the Frosty Friends stamp had arrived! I was so excited to use it right away! I looked up some challenges and thought I would join in on the fun at Fab Friday 04 color challenge and Freshly Made Sketches #56. Also I found the Just Add Ink #139 challenge was to use something new! I have a new stamp and a new technique to share! So here is my card...
To color my five little guys I used Blender pen with ink from the top of stamp pad lids. I thought the Summer Starfruit would give a nice sunset color behind the snowmen too. It is hard to tell from the picture I took but the snowmen are puffy as well. I learned this FABULOUS technique from Leslie Orman and had to try it right away! She said to trace the snowmen with the stylus from the Simply scored. Turn the snowmen over and in a press is a circular motion filling in the bodies of the snowmen. AMAZING!!! I love techniques that are so simple but blow my socks off...Why didn't I think of that?? Great job Leslie and thanks for sharing!!
I do love the fall but this card makes me excited for the Winter season too! I am sure you will be seeing these "Fab Five" Snowmen often!
