Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I really need to ramp up the Christmas cards now that July is here.
It seems like it comes quicker each year.
I saw a couple of challenges that wanted to see snow and I just happened to have this
stamp in my NBUS box. So it was the perfect time to get some ink on it.
I stamped with alcohol friendly black ink and colored with my Ohuhu Markers.
I love that they have a brush tip and a bullet tip for those tight spaces!
I used a cloud stencil for the background but then went over it with more ink.
Some chunky Frantage embossing powder helps the feeling of snow falling.
I stamped again with alcohol friendly gray ink. White it's out, might as well to
get another Christmas card done.
This time I used more green colors than teal and a very light inking in the background.
I embossed some snow on the framing this time. Sort of a reverse snow globe.
Challenges:
CAS Christmas - Linda is asking for a snowman (I hope it's okay to have more than one.)
NBUS #88 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Peace on Earth #115 - I was inspired by the bottom right picture on the moodboard

Bonnie, your snow couples couldn't be cuter! I love your sky on the first - snow days do look very much like this! Two more darling Christmas cards! Did they cool you off?

Those two look happy to finally make it onto a card, Bonnie, and you set a beautiful background for them. I got the pastel Ohuhu markers and they smear with the two inks I used. It's okay as long as I don't touch the black ink.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! We could use a little snow right now to cool everything off!!!

Both are awesome cards! I love the dreamy look of both.
ReplyDeleteCute cards with the sweet snowmen and cute little birds. It's good to get started with the Christmas cards and not have to rush. I need to take that advice.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards using your cute snowman couple, Bonnie! Wonderful sky made with your cloud stencil and snowfall with your Frantage Emb powder - it really looks like a snowy day! Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic cloudy, snowy sky. Great technique! I didn't think to re-ink it after stenciling. It looks stunning. And your pair of snowmen are so sweet. Two great and completely different cards. Someone will be very happy in December...

I think two snowmen work, especially when they're as cute as these! Two delightful cards, Bonnie. So happy to have you sharing one with us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love your two cute snowmen Bonnie, and the falling snow frame in white goes beautifully, and the green hats and scarves and the red baubles and candy cane pop nicely..a wonderful card. x
ReplyDeleteSorry Bonnie a senior moment..I forgot all about the first card which is just as pretty with the lovely embossed frme and the clouds in the sky and the frantage snow which certainly gives the feeling of falling snow and it all looks quite glittery. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet snow couple,, I love the touch of blending with the clouds. It adds just enough colour. xx
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I love your snowpeople... and you made two of them! I love the subtle cloud stenciling on the first card and the snowfall on the second. Mostly the image is darling and the sentiment font is really cute, too!
ReplyDeleteYour snowmen duo is cute as can be and so are both of your cards. Love the details on each one.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww...both of these cards are so darn CUTE Bonnie! My snowman loving heart is loving both of these cards big time my friend...I just want to hug them!! Sweet, SWEET cards!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteTwo great snowman cards! Love the way you did two different layouts with the same image.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous additions to your Christmas card stash.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowmen cards--especially the "reverse snow globe"! So happy to see Christmas in July whenever I can, especially from you!
ReplyDeleteTwo AMAZING CAS snowman cards, Bonnie. LOVE the colouring of this adorable image. And the cloud stencil is just perfect for a cold winter's day feel! Great idea to make two while you had the stamp out ... the second one is so special with the circle aperture and embossed falling snow. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I love your sweet snowmen cards. The more the merrier. Lol. You have created two fantastic cards, and they are colored so beautifully. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cute cards! I am impressed you used the stamp twice and created two cards, something 'I' need to do more of!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining our challenge at Peace On Earth!

Two delightful cards using the same stamp, but with the end results quite different - love the 'reverse snow globe' effect

I've never seen that adorable snowman stamp before - I love it! Great colouring - you really achieved the look of a chilly winter day!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are darling, Bonnie! The snow couples are so sweet, and I'm loving the colors and texture of your snowy sky! The chunky Frantage embossing is the perfect touch for the falling snow.

My favorite...........Christmas cards. This is adorable. I do love an alcohol ink marker that has a great nib to get into the tight areas. Keep making. You have less than 5 months. Especially with the delivery of the postal system these days. [Bunny]
