I found this This stamp is by Deep Red Big Red snowman stamp around Christmas last year
and didn't get a chance to use it.
I'm glad to have an excuse to break him out!
I stamped him with Smokey Gray Versafine ink and
colored him with Zigs and a water brush.
As usual, I went outside the lines with the red and had
to perform surgery.
I kind of like the look of him popped up and framed.
CAS Christmas is doing snowmen this month.
I'll pop him in the gallery.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteAdorable snowman cheerfully colored! Love the snowfall EF background with the stitched frame.

He's fabulous, Bonnie. Great job of coloring with the Zigs. I find the red runs more than other colors so I rarely used water with it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of him fussy cut, popped up and framed so it might have been a happy accident that you went outside the lines with the red! The snowbank for your sentiment and the embossed background are perfect finishing touches.
ReplyDeleteLove the layers, he is wonderful, a Super card.

ReplyDeleteOutstanding coloring with zigs, Bonnie! You achieved such rich colors and shading on him and love the framing. Still coveting that Kars embossing folder too!
ReplyDeleteHe definitely is a Frosty! He's so happy and jolly. LOVE the colouring and he looks great popped up. Happy accident! :) xx
ReplyDeletewhat a colorful Frosty framed in the embossed snow! xx
ReplyDeleteYour snowman is adorable! He looks great in that frame. I am so envious every time you use that Kars embossing folder. It is just perfect. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, Bonnie! Love him all coloured up and surrounded by all that lovely white. He’s beautifully framed with lots of great dimensions. xx

ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable and fun chappie/snowman x The textured background/snow and the framing looks great. So glad you used this fun stamp Bonnie on your wonderful card x
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable, Bonnie! Looks just like Frosty! He pops around all that white "snow".
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun snowman, Bonnie! I think you did an amazing job coloring him and I love all the snowflakes in the background! I also love how you framed him out on this card...so CUTE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute Snowman, Bonnie! Your Zig coloring is amazing! I especially love how you added light blue shadows. All the white surrounding him makes him really pop. The stitched frame over the snowy background panel is such a great idea! Hideko xx
ReplyDeleteLove that cute snowman and how you have colored him and framed him.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I love your brightly beautifully coloured snowman Bonnie. He has such a happy smile. Great background and love that you framed this gorgeous fellow. I love looking at all the fabulous snowmen images and the amazing results. Winter is knocking at my door but not nearly cold enough for snow thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteI love all the layers of the card. Such a beautifully designed card, embossed background, snowman popping out of the window frame stitched ... I love the colors in which you dressed this snowman.
