Warm Thoughts

Hello, friends!  Sending warm thoughts and warm wishes to you on this fine Saturday morning!  What a busy work week it's been.   I did manage to find some stamping time...and that's a good thing because it's time for another wonderful sketch at The Sweet Stop!  Since it is the third week, the spin is snowmen...which means if you include a snowman on your card, you will be eligible to win a $15 credit to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!


I think I'm definitely in a pink rut...not that pink is necessarily my favorite color.  I usually don't wear pink, but there are just so many pretty papers and color combinations out there that include pink, and with the LOVE month on the way...well, you'll just have to excuse all the pink!  LOL!  Any way...here's another pink creation!

Creative Nugget:  This cute litte snowman is from the Holly Jolly Christmas clear stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and was the perfect size for this sketch.  He was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and popped up on a Decorative Labels one die.  The various layers of the sketch were created by taping and stitching a combination of Echo Park patterned papers, Early Espresso, and Neenah Solar Crest card stocks.  Texture was added with the Canvas Impression Plate and a Sizzix Snowflake embossing folder.  The sentiment is from the Cozy Friends clear stamp set. Some organdy ribbon, a snowflake punch, and colored rhinestones finish the card.

There are so many adorable snowman images out there, so I can't wait to see your snowy creations!  Take time to check out the talented Sugar Babies for more snowman inspiration.
