I've got another one for you today. This is for the Sketch Challenge 304 on SCS this week. The sketch called for an oval as the front panel, but I don't have an oval that big so I opted for a rectangle. I meant to round the corners but then forgot until after I had everything mounted.
I'd been thinking about trying a snowman out of my round punches. It's not as cute as some of the die cuts or stamps, but he turned out ok. I put a little glue around the edges and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds to make him sparkle a bit. My whole table sparkles now! LOL! That stuff hangs around forever!
The hat is a piece of Basic Black that I smacked with VersaMark and clear embossed. I used the end of the Modern Label Punch for the top and the Word Window Punch for the brim. (I did have to cut that down quite a bit.) The nose is the end of the branch on the Extra Large Bird Punch and the "arms" are from the branch also. I used my craft scissors to trim the leaves off. The buttons are some mini beads.
The DSP is from a couple of years ago. I'm still trying to use up my paper so I can buy some more. There is a similar pattern in the Candy Cane Christmas package in the Holiday Mini. And I used the Square Lattice Embossing folder for the white strip. I just love the dimension that adds!
